This is sure to help prevent any fires where we live. So, the fog all night has deposited water droplets so it looks outside like it rained this morning. This is why it is so green here year around because it often does this in both winter and summer. Because of this we have pine trees and redwood trees and oak trees and ferns and even manzinita bushes.
I walked our blue merle corgi in the woods the other day and there was even water still in the muddy tracks from a fire engine on one of the first roads into the forest that I walked our corgi on. There are still (this late in the year?) flowers growing and even pink lilies in the forest growing still too and tall (3 foot high grasses some places where the water can still get up to them.
Most of the fires inland all the wild grasses are still 3 feet to 6 feet high but inland they are brown and dry now from temperatures over 100 degrees constantly this past month or so. So, this is one reason why we are having large fires consuming a lot of underbrush and trees up and down the state now.
But, luckily here at least the fog and misty conditions are preventing fires from keeping things wet (at least over night. Usually by late afternoon the sun through the fog or direct sun evaporates most of the moisture off the deck. But, the trees and shrubs and our roses benefit from all this a lot.
Right now, because of all this it is only 56 degrees here on the coast where we live at 9 am Saturday.
However, if I want to even see the sun today I likely will have to get in my car or truck and drive inland to see it possibly even once.
