Even with the heavy rains we received at the end of February this year, we are still only at about 1/3 of the average rainfall totals for this time of year according to OC Watershed data.

I have seen this before, and forgotten what it is. There is a elmer's glue-like substance in the center of it. I want to say pincushion, but I haven't been able to identify it yet.
Our dry vernal pool. It seemed like so much rain, but not enough.
We saw one frog. I imagine they come out and mate when it does rain. I wonder if there are any underwater puddles where they can lay their eggs, or do they all dry up and die? What hardship!
