MIXED WEATHER--Folks went to bed last Wednesday night with a little standing water but by Thursday morning, it was overflowing everywhere with some driveways underwater and the high streams running a mucky brown color. Thankfully we had some sun breaks off and on Thursday, which gave some of the water a little time to flow out, as it wouldn't have taken long before we'd be driving the "tall" truck to get out of West Valley and other low lying areas. By Saturday night, the downpours returned and very early on Sunday morning, I thought we were...
Happy May Day everyone! Does anyone remember the little crepe paper May baskets we made as kids, filled them with odds and ends and candies and hung them on door knobs. I wish I could remember how to fold the paper to cut them out. Anyone remember? My grandfather always got molasses chips in his basket because he was very special and they were his favorite candies.

MIXED BAG--Last Friday was an absolutely gorgeous day which brought out the lawn mowers, the tank tops and flip flops and was thoroughly enjoyed by everyone. However, Saturday was a totally different story, as someone "flipped the switch" and we went from warm and beautiful to cold, windy and horrific downpours from time to time; definitely a huge switch from the day before! By the beginning of this week, we've had some showers but not too bad and it was a bit sunnier than we thought it would be for Easter Sunday and Monday as well, so while...

GORGEOUS--As this week began, it was absolutely beautiful with nothing but sunshine and warm breezes, which felt oh so great! Actually, the entire weekend and even several days last week were great too, as my aching back can attest, as there were no bad weather excuses to put off digging into those flower beds! However, it looks like we'll all get to use the weather as an excuse by the time you read this, as more wet weather is due to move in, so I hope you got that lawn mowed and those new plants in the ground, as it's going to be time to...
Spring is definitely in the air with the smell of cherry blossoms, fresh mown grass, and many of the wildflowers beginning to bloom. The dogs are shedding their winter coats, and if you brush them outside and leave the fur, the birds are in a mad rush to pick it up and carry it off. A few butterflies are even appearing, and the hummingbird feeder needs to be refilled frequently. Nature sure has a beautiful way of beginning new life in the spring.

NICE START--As this work week begins, it is simply gorgeous outside. As I stood in the sunshine without a drop of wind around me on Monday afternoon, I was actually feeling pretty toasty out there, and beings I haven't felt that warm outside for ages, I'm pretty sure it was the warmest day of the year so far. It was a great day for getting that lawn mowed, I know that! The forecasters said we were due to have a little more rain between that sunny day and when you read this, but then it looks like we'll have a nice stretch of dry weather, so...

NICE BEGINNING--I was a bit surprised to see a sunny day last Sunday, as the forecast had looked pretty wet, so after a super soggy Saturday, the blue sky and sunshine was truly welcomed. Considering the cold areas east of us and the earthquakes south of us in California, I was feeling pretty good about our weather. I was happy to hear from a cousin of mine, Karla Kyle, who said they faired the earthquake just fine but that you could sure tell the tourists and the newcomers to the area, as they...
