Luckily, Los Angeles has received more rain this December than any December in the past 6 years and there's another storm possibility before month's end so, hopefully, the data collected in the near-term will be sufficient to consider the experiment successfully concluded...Kris Petersonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07097260283693156795noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8574540292918761182.post-76773331674951918622016-12-26T06:04:06.725-08:002016-12-26T06:04:06.725-08:00Your home and garden are festively decked!
