It Never Rains

One of the things we loved about living in Northern California was how dependable the weather was. Each year, the rainy season ran from Halloween to Tax Day. Between April 15th and October 31st you could plan any outdoor activity with no worries about the weather. There was never a need for a back up plan, because it never, ever rained.

So, when it came time to schedule our first return visit to the Bay Area, it was easy to decide when we would arrive. May is one of the best months to visit here. October is the other. These are the months when the sun shines, the temperature is warm, but not too warm, and the wind almost never blows. And, rain? Forget about it.

What has it done since we arrived May 1st? It's been cold and breezy. And, it has rained! It rained on us in Pleasanton, Morgan Hill, Napa and on the way today to Fort Bragg. The forecast in this lovely coastal town this holiday weekend is down right chilly.

So, it's cold and nasty in Northern California in May. Things good be worse.

We could be working.

So sorry to hear about all the rain and wind. When you all leave it will probably stop...LOL.

Enjoy your time and have fun.

It's been either too cold or too hot everywhere lately it seems. Happy Trails is right...that rain will go away as soon as you leave. Even so, that coastal area is fantastic.

Have a good weekend (hopefully).
