Ray's Thought for the Day - Rainfall Update

Since the last rainfall update on October 26, '06 of the Julian, we have accumulated 0.05 inches in the guage, maybe. So that brings us on up to 17.50" for the year. It's starting to look like another bad fall rain wise. It's plenty warm too. We just had a little front come through from the west, but it's still 80 in the shade.

With the balmy weather and the little bit of rain we had back in October, the Eupsy daisies and the Salvias have burst into bloom. Today there are hundreds of butterflies at the CB taking advantage of the flowers. By far, the snout butterflies are the most abundant, attracted to what may be Eupatorium incarnatum.

Crumby has been out looking at Ogma and has pictures. Crumby, do you want to share your pictures in this venue?

Not really, Ray.

Oh come on Crumby. Share your pictures in the venue.

All righty then. Here are two pictures of Ogma. They both show sun spots. I don't know if they're the same sunspots or not. One picture is from a few days ago. The other one is today. Personally, even though they look somewhat different I think they may be the same general sunspots. But maybe not.
