Just off a 2-day event, over 2" rain, most accum. since mid-June. Yonkers creek actually making a little noise. The groundwater irrigation ponds for garden/yard had been dropping pretty radically before this past rain, but give things a chance to drain & they will probably come up a notch. All foliage nicely washed, redwoods in full fall color but no major leaflet drop yet (no winds). Saw first geese formation fly over 2 days ago, numerous termites flying 2 days ago (always a reliable rain indicator). Seems warmer/more humid in mornings but have to ck data. Garden starting to wane, even zukes. Sept. seems right on track: 2019 was 3.32, 2020 1.39, so far 2021 = 2.23 (but what's 3-yrs?)
