More Feb. snow

Ok, some of that deep snow has melted. Not much though. We actually had a week that I thought was warming up alittle. Somewhere around the thirties during the day time. Nice. But colder nights. Then....... MORE SNOW ALL DAY YESTERDAY!!!!!! Two more inches of very wet white stuff. It has been melting fast and trying to run into my basement. I have to work hard to keep it from getting in. In the Spring we will fix the problem but not in the snow and mud and frozen ground. Lots to do. We will start with a huge back hoe and move alot of cement and dirt.
Barney, yesterday, on his birthday, left in the middle of the snow storm, they could hardly see, for California with his friends, Kurt Flegal and Keith Abarham to see their friend Denis Asprey who was then in the hospital due to complications with his cancer, but later released. They wanted to cheer him up. What a nice surprize for Denis. They will be home in a few days.
Leah is right. You are definitely acclamated when you think that 40 degrees is warm. We actually went out without a coat for several days. We still had a long sleeve shirt on. Ok, maybe not long sleeves everyday. We were rebelling and got out the summer shirts for a few days there. t felt so good. We even found some awesome sunshine for a day or two. We so needed some sunshine. It felt so good. We miss the sun this year. Enjoy it where ever you are that you have sunshine these days. Tell me where you are so I can come and find some too. I'll only stay until, oh maybe June or July or so, after the "June gloom" goes away. Everyday we pray for sunshine. We only want it to snow in the mountains. That's where we need it most for use later this summer. We try not to complain much. We will need the moisture later on, to drink and grow, etc. Soon enough it will be July and we will be wishing for cooler days and weeks. San Diego is looking better and better. Or maybe St . George.

Wow! What a great family. Hi Barney and Carolyn. I guess I will be seeing you here on Saturday. Wish it was for a better reason.
