Santa Ana Winds

The Santa Ana winds bring extremely hot, dry weather and winds that can only be described as standing in front of a hair dryer. The downside of this is definately the high risk of wildfires. But, in the Blackford 'glass is half-full' thinking, we found the upside of this severe weather. I grabbed my swimming suit and mommy and we unrolled the hose in the front yard. Running through the sprinkler has an extra appeal in mid-October.
