4. I like to think of them as "golden"

We've got the same thing going on up in Sonoma right now--breathtakingly green hills that'll mellow to a Tuscan gold in a month or two.

6. They are beautiful!!!

I drove up the coast two weekends ago and it was lush and verdant and just gorgeous. I think it may stay green longer than usual this year.

8. well

I'm in the southern Bay Area, and this is the week our hills are green. It's very pretty.

But soon they'll be golden again, which is also pretty.

Totals are WAY above normal. Alrady 35 inches in just five monts since the water year started in October. That is incredible!
