On Monday clouds started to arrive from the north. Yes, we had an early rainstorm coming in! Linda Bostwick photographed the advancing storm clouds from her Point Arena home above the harbor.

With the sun behind the clouds, Linda caught some magic with her photo - just lovely! The storm arrived later Monday evening and by Tuesday morning there was 0.60 inches in my rain gauge. Early rains are a blessing here on the Mendonoma Coast.

Today is warm, in the low 70's, with some clouds and a breeze. It's a beautiful Autumn day here today.
