It has been a soaker here where I live north of Phoenix. Most areas have received over an inch of rain in the past 24 hours and the foothills and mountains around where I live have had two and even three inches or more of rain. It rained about a half inch up here two or three days ago as well. I'm sure that it will be a great season for wildflowers this year. I can't believe how green the hills are getting...

This photo was taken March 1. I guess you never really know - when I was down there last year I asked lots of people when would be the best month and this is what said - I guess I will find out :) Yeah, there was a valley near town with a wonderful field of yellow flowers that did get wiped out by a heavy rain in early February, but I felt like the rest of the flowers peaked later in the month and into March.

But that sounds like quite a trip. It is supposed to rain a little more in So Cal later today, don't know if it will go all the way out to Anza Borrego but you never know.

We have a reservation for a month at a campground in Borrego beginning in Mid-February, then a month outside of Phoenix - thus my excitement! If there are wildflowers, I should be at those two locations at the perfect time. I have some assignment work in Palm Springs as well. It is sounding good. Might be a good year at the Poppy Preserve as well. Even Death Valley has received some rain. Ouch!
