Several friends asked if we got snow last week. We hadn’t on Friday when I sent out a newsletter stating no snow.
Then, it snowed on Friday night and Saturday morning.
Not very much (we are at 1000′), but it stayed cold all day so the parts that weren’t dissolved by rain stayed around.
Pippin wasn’t interested in being an outdoor cat on Saturday.
On Sunday, snow was still visible on the foothills around our house.
Because it was a little bit sunny, we took a short walk. All the little drainages were flowing.
I was thinking about flowers and cold: flowers are kept in refrigerators at florist shops, so this can’t be too bad. These daffodils will probably bounce back. 
The rosemary is certainly flourishing.
More snow and rain is coming.
Don’t you just love wet winters in California??

Here at 1,400 ft. elevation I got snow/hail/graupel mix which stuck for about 30 minutes, enough for a quick photo. But all the mountains surrounding my little valley are covered in white. So pretty! I wonder if this winter will rival the (in)famous 1968-69 where an avalanche took out the Crowley resort?
And don’t you love to pinch rosemary leaves and smell the lovely aroma?
P.S. Pippen, I’m with you, buddy!
Sharon, it is another cold wet day here, so when the clouds lift, I expect to see the white stuff still surrounding us.
Rosemary is indeed fabulous in many ways.
I was with Pippin all day too on Saturday. But the little bossy pants took my chair by the window!
