| Dinga observing the melting snow & watching for critters. |
Wednesday 3/21. The forecast rain arrived about 11:30 am in the form of snow which lasted a couple hours, but nothing stuck. Spring can be so fickle!
The juncos are back with Spring matters on their minds. Winter can be so quiet that it is good to hear bird song again.
It was a very dark, grey day with a high of 40. The brightest part came at about 6:30 when Larry and Elsie drove up for marbles! The first game was a route, with the ladies doing the routing. The second game was very close, but once again the ladies prevailed. Woo Hoo!
Rain was pouring down by 10:00 pm, and continued to do so for several hours.
Thursday 3/22. It was 36 and we were ensconced in a very thick fog this morning. More than 1/4" of rain fell during the night, and 1/2" is forecast for today with flood warnings in many places. Mud season has officially arrived.
Rain began falling again just as JB and the dogs returned from their morning walk, and continued to fall until about 1:30 pm. By then the wind had blown the fog away and we could actually see a couple canyons over. Around 3:00 pm and icy wind blew in some snow that stopped about the time the dogs and I returned from surviving our afternoon walk. The sun managed to peek through the clouds between showers, and our high for the day was 39.
I tried to keep busy inside with chores and reading a book, but I certainly do tend to eat a lot more when I can't be outside working. A lot of winter fat to work off this year. . .
Friday 3/23. It is 24, overcast and lightly snowing this morning.
Thought for the day: We are continually faced with a series of great opportunities brilliantly disguised as insoluble problems. John W. Gardener
