As sunshine has returned to Los Angeles, I had to reflect and enjoy the real sunshine vs. the liquid sunshine.
Most of you are familiar with the term “Texas- sized”? Well, if you are not, let me share, we consider this definition as ’bigger than anywhere else’. Now with that said we have had ‘Texas sized rain’ here in the Greater Los Angeles area for a while now. Most of us were thrilled to get the H2O.
Every time it rained, I would say to Diane: “Good for the grass, good for the citrus” this has been a standard bantering for the past seven or eight years. Needless to say, the past few years less than normal, due to the lack of rain.
As most of you know this year was an exception. We had over 18 inches of rain already. This past storm clearly set new records for precipitation in the Greater Los Angeles area. Keep in mind we are not done yet. We just received a little respite.
Sadly, some of the negatives included damaged hillside homes and cars due to mudslides. This rain has caused negative side effects in the Hollywood Hills and other hillside communities as well.
When we bought our home, there were no gutters on them, not all homes in Los Angeles have rain gutters. I insisted and made sure one of the first of many improvements to our home, were the rain gutters. Now with that said our gutters have gotten a workout this Winter.
Most of you know that rain gutters are necessary to prevent damaging the walls and directing the water away from the foundation.
The unexpected positive side effect of all this rain for us has been, as I have been saying for years, the rain has been beneficial for our citrus. Well, look at the size of this lemon. As you can see ‘Texas-sized’, compared to the normal sized lemons.
So with that said I am grateful for the rain and that our gutters stood up to the task of handling all the rain. Needless to say I am equally grateful for the added benefit it had on our Citrus trees.
