Default The Christmas Kooka

La Nino is the boy child who comes to visit at Christmas some years and who
takes our rain. Here is one of the rare visitors of a La Nina year when it
is wet. This season makes your tomatoes and squash wilt with fungus. You
will note the distinctive lichen which develops only during high humidity
and constant showers, there is some on the post too. It only lasts a week,
already it seems she has had too much holiday spirit and some of the growth
has fallen out. By Sunday she will be back to her old self.

Happy holiday!
