The First Rain

We had our first rain today.  Started before dawn and continued through mid-day. 

During a lull in the rain, I noticed this line of fast-moving, soft, smooth clouds stretching from north to south in the eastern sky. 


I've never before seen clouds like these. 


Like huge gray grapefruits or gray bubbles in a black and white photo.

Figs Are Here



First figs were picked today.

They seem a bit early.

But, they are ripe and soooo good!

Sorry, birds, I got there first!
