Catching up but still no rain

It seems like the last few days have been nonstop action and today was spent mostly in the garden. It looks like the season has finally changed, the almond trees are in bloom, and Spring has arrived. However, we have not had 2 consecutive days of rain since last August (and the time before that was sometime in 2003), so I spend a lot of time getting the automatic watering system back into action after the winter layoff. If we don't get some rain soon, and that is starting to look increasingly unlikely, there could be problems during the summer months.
