But we didn't find out for sure last night, as we had to postpone our hike. We'll find out later today, though, and bring you a report.
Fun news for the meantime: the September issue of Pasadena Magazine features the Dena's daily photo bloggers. For her article, "Daily Affirmations," Kelly Shimabukuro interviewed me, Laurie Allee (Glimpses of South Pasadena), Kat Likkel (Pasadena, 91105 and Beyond) and our already sorely missed Ben Wideman (The Sky is Big in Pasadena and wherever else he goes). Thank you, Kelly!
It was Ben who turned me on to our newest daily photo blogger. She's a bit anonymous, but she's got style. Check out All Over Pasadena.

What a strange thing to see in the middle of a meadow.
They should have those water pipes in England, Dive, to put out the fields of burning stubble. Oh, I forget...didn't the European Union put a stop to that?
The field sure looks different now, and the soil will be there for a few years until it has to be schlepped out again back to where it came from, and further. At least it keeps the truck and bulldozer drivers in employment. Unless they put a tarp over it, there'll be a lovely flower meadow there next year, full of non-native weeds that the birds and butterflies and bees can feast on. I'm trying to look on the bright side.
Hope you get to see it today!
These are pipes above a water well (ditto the multicolored pipes in your post a couple of days ago, which I just now saw). Check in with Brad Boman, my favorite go-to water engineer at Pasadena Water and Power. Tell him I sent you. I don't recall his direct line, but you can call the main PWP customer service line at 744-6970 on Tuesday and press zero for a receptionist to transfer you.
Bellis, the RAIN put a stop to that!
I love that two of my favorite Brits are discussing England's fires and rain on Pasadena Daily Photo.
Thanks, PIO. Nice to see you! I hope to get out there today and see the pipes myself. It seems the county would try to leave them unscathed, but perhaps they're not needed for the next few years. Brad would know.
Ann, I'm really excited about what you've told us about those pipes. Pasadena must be riddled with wells.
We're on the same wavelength: I have to get new water pipes at my place, so I've been thinking a lot about pipes and where my water comes from. And I have a mini sediment removal project ahead of me. The home projects never end.
And more Dena blogs to love! Wish I didn't have to work so I'd have more time to connect with them.
Glad the hike was only a one-day postponement. Heard things will be heating up again next week.
I hadn't realized how exciting pipes would be.
I heard the same, Hiker. I'd better get it in today. I'm really looking forward to it.
Pasadena is fortunate to have abundant water as a natural resource. About 40 percent of the water used by residents, businesses and institutions comes from our own natural supply and 60 percent comes mostly from the Colorado River via the Metropolitan Wzter District (MWD).
Hi Petrea - I'm from ALL OVER PASADENA, my name is Devon and I just wanted to thank you for giving my little blog a boost this week! I've been following you for some time and always enjoy getting different views of this lovely city!
Thank you, PIO, we are indeed fortunate. And as the Colorado experiences more problems, that 40% becomes more and more important.
Devon, it's you! Hi! I clicked around on your blog trying to find some info and mostly just found great photos. I hope people will find All Over Pasadena and enjoy it. I'm only sorry I didn't know about it in time to tell Pasadena Magazine about it. Thank you for stopping by!
I can't wait to see the article. Glad to see you acknowledged.
Thank you, Margaret. I think we're all excited and pleased. It's a nice article.
