The rain has begun, and it’ll be windy and nasty overnight and through the morning.

We had a puddle Xmas. Drip drip drop.

You may have been hearing about a strong, rainy weather system that has already nailed Florida, and has been moving north along the east coast. Atlanta is far west, in east coast terms, of that weather alignment, aided by the westward bend of the Georgia bight (geography jargon?), meaning that in this case the worst of the weather avoided us, and we just suffered some moisture and some wind, but, overall, not much and not bad.

The household part-time hunter-gather brought in steaming hot pizzas for us this evening [not plucked from a pizza tree!]. While he was out I grated these parm curls for…accessorizing?!

This was one of those funny-weather days when the temp dropped steadily all day—seems like it’s against nature. I hear we’re under or suffering an atmospheric river….

This is from the other day when it was sunny, as today “an atmospheric river runs through it”…which means we had intermittent rain and ongoing murkiness.

Dense fog obscured the sunrise, and the camera’s algorithms (algorhythms?) did too! I found it more misty and mysterious than shown here.

And the ginko drop happened…at least for this tree. I didn’t do a survey and make sure it was all specimens, as is characteristic.

For several days, the local meteorologists have been predicting this pattern. This morning, our low was the lowest we’ve had since March: brrrr. Nice later, though, and fine tomorrow, then rain rain rain, and perhaps no rain come Sunday afternoon. The models vary. Temps overnight a bit less cold, then not bad at all.

Proof that the afternoon was sunny and pleasant, albeit a bit breezy, but you can’t see that in this photo of a sculpture called Bulwarks II.

I confess that this camellia photo is from the other day; today was overcast and no rain…yet. Rain is due to arrive in the wee hours. Not surprisingly, I’m more worried about the predicted winds.

Murky day, which is fine: we need the rain…it also means the leaves are coming down down down.

Most of the plants are “happy” to have today’s drippy rain. These are weighted by it…too much of a good thing? The annual precip deficit is slow to recover.
