It's a rainy day. No, it's a sunny day. Wait, it's a foggy day. Hey, now it's a sunny day. No, it's a rainy day.

Let's just say so far it has caused a lot of worry and a few sleepless nights, but the last two days of showers seems to have caused few problems. Pictured above you see the showers crossing the coast range heading towards our vineyards at 3:30 this afternoon.
