| Valley fog to the southeast on Wednesday |
Wednesday 11/26. As I stepped outside to take the girls' breakfast to them, I heard the sound of pouring rain. Water and tiny pieces of ice were pouring from all the trees. After all the rain yesterday and last nights' freeze, every branch and needle was covered in ice until it warmed with the sunrise.
Eggnog in my morning coffee. Mmmmm. Buttershots in my evening eggnog. Mmmmm.
We saw some blue sky all day, but the sun had a hard time getting out from behind the clouds, and the fog never quite made it up to Rose Camp. Our high for the day was 45. A soggy, mushy, breezy 45. At least we don't have to worry about the girls' water freezing.
I did laundry and printed out one side of most of my Christmas cards, until the printer started acting up. JB baked bread. Another inside day, although the dogs got both their walks.
Will bake brownies tomorrow morning to take with us to Thanksgiving dinner. I fixed up a basket with mandarin oranges, applets & cotlets, and a small bottle of elderberry vodka for our hosts. Am so looking forward to tomorrow. We have so very much to be thankful Up Here. I give thanks each and every day, but celebrating it with friends is always a joy. A very delicious joy.
Both the current issues of Time and National Geographic magazines have an article on the 3-D printer. In my opinion, that is one of the most phenomenal inventions of all time! Absolutely amazing!
Thursday 11/27. We awoke to blue sky, 45 degrees and a breeze. There was a wall of clouds on the western horizon and low valley fog in the river valleys. The wind picked to to 24 mph, blowing scattered clouds in. The ground is mostly brown, speckled with white dots in a few places. Haven't needed to put a fire in during the night for a while now. Going to be a muddy drive down to Larry and Elsie's.
I baked the brownies, and in my thankful mood for such good friends, found a bottle of orange muscat wine for our hostess.
We have been having issues with the batteries for our solar system, and this morning JB discovered that one of the batteries is leaking. We have two extra ones, that I hope are still good. Thank goodness the bad battery is on the bottom row because they are very heavy. Sounds like our project for tomorrow.
We left in Miss Kitty at about 1:00 pm and had a wonderful Thanksgiving dinner. So much fun with Larry and Elsie's two little grandchildren there. The wind howled most of the time and it was 52 at their house. Our high for the day Up Here was 49
We left about 5:00 pm and drove home in the moonlight. The main canyon road was still pretty icy, but our road was just muddy. The dogs were glad to see us, and I took a nice, turkey-tummy nap.
Friday 11/28. This morning it is 46, partly cloudy and still windy. The wind blew all night, gusting to 34. Cold weather is on its way again, with forecast lows for Saturday night into the single digits.
Thought for the day: The best things are nearest: breath in your nostrils, light in your eyes, flowers at your feet, duties at your had, the path of God just before you. Robert Louis Stevenson
