Friday morning (when I took these pictures) was the first morning all week I didn’t need to rush into the office, and I had a chance to check in with the garden after the rain we had earlier this week. We ended up getting nearly 2 inches, which we desperately needed. Now if only that would happen about 4 or 5 more times this winter. Unfortunately I think the warm and dry and drought causing weather we’ve had for the past few years is what we’re in for this winter, too.

My coral aloe is going to bloom — 2 stalks.

The rainstorm did knock over these aeoniums. I’ll need to salvage the stalks and start some new plants.
