CA is always a drought state in the summer, this is our norm and nothing to worry about, and I love it this way. But last weekend we had a little surprise storm pass over; 3.5" of rain in one hour and boy was it humid, at least for us. I honestly would have a hard time adjusting to rain in the summer.

I think we got our annual rain fall already for the year. I am used to being dry through August, but I'm not used to already being brown and leaves falling from the oak in July. Makes me wonder about the upcoming winter.

Yeah, we have been MOWING the goat fields.
We learned a long time ago NOT MOWING = Disaster!
If too wet underneath and the grass cannot dry out parasites will be a serious issue. At this time of year cocci will be a serious issue with all this wet and grass too tall to let it dry out. Hard part is getting it mowed. Hard to mow soppy wet fields.:\
