Nice day in Sacramento

It actually got up to fifty-eight degrees today and it has yet to rain even though the weather folks said that it would.

We even  had inter-mitten sunshine.  I got the two small lawns in the backyard mowed this afternoon and the grass was not wet.

JoAnne is with her bridge group today and on the way  home, she will install fire alarms in the duplex. (a code requirement for rentals here in Sacramento)

I made dinner last night and will probably do it again tonight.

I am watching the program about the National Parks on PBS.  Today, they are discussing and showing pictures of Yellowstone.  Truly amazing.

Y'all take care hear.

Its not raining here in Sacramento...

Well, at least not right now, but it did rain earlier.  If it were a little warmer, we almost have Hilo, HI weather right now.  Rain every day with patchy bits of sunshine in between.

Raining again Houston.

Or perhaps I should say still!  We have  had rain of and on for over a week now.  I think I am growing both moss and webbed toes.

Spook (our RV)..

is back in storage again.  We put her in and then wandered down to Rocklin to Camping World where we purchased some rugs, a door mat and a compass to make a trips more comfortable and more interesting.

Our next planned trip is to Colorado in July and perhaps up into Canada for a few weeks.  Of course, things can happen and we might have to wander down to Fullerton once again before July.

I have not seen Glacier National park and JoAnne has never seen Yellowstone.  May wander to those places during this coming summer.

Dry morning here in Sacramento,

but we have snow  in Reno.  Highway between the two has been closed off and on for the past couple of days.  Right now, it  is open, but requires either chains or snow tires even on vehicles with four wheel drive..

It is dry in Sacramento right now (First dry morning in several days), but rain is predicted later.  The winds have died down so guess it will be ok to take the guys for their morning walk. (Have missed it for the past two days.)

We have some small stream flooding in the county, but no major damage except that gained from fallen trees.

Sure hope we get enough to fill the lakes that supply our water.

Mo Rain

We have had inter-rmiten rain for the past two days.  The weather folks tell us that we should have more and that it should continue through Saturday of this week.

Right now, there is a pretty strong wind rattling stuff around.  It blew over garbage cans yesterday and spread paper up and down the street.

Can't complain much.  We have needed rair for several years now.

We have rain!

It is not raining right now, but it rained almost all night here in Sacramento.  Hope to go back home to Reno tomorrow, but it is very possible that travel over Donner will be severely limited and we will have to stay here in Sacramento for another couple of days.

I am a bit disappointed with the bowl games thus far.  Sure saw a lot of sloppy football.

Hope to troop down to the Palm Springs area next week.  We just might get out of this cold for a while.

Rain in December

We  had solid rain here in Sacramento begining at eight last night and continuing almost without stop until about ten this morning.  Since that time it has been inter-mitten all day.  Back patio is pretty wet, but no puddling yet.  Gutters are not gushing yet either.

Must just be a soaker this time, but is supposed to continue like this for a couple of more days.

Yup! We had snow in Reno.

We had eighteen inches of it at our place in Sierra Canyon.  Took a few minutes to clear the driveway.  Have pictures, but they are on the computer in Reno.  Not available to me here in Sacramento.

We are waiting for rain here and it may turn to snow.  Probably won't happen right here at our house.  The temp is too high.

Yeah, hot! HOT!

Not really as bad as expected, but one can feel the heat rising from the soil of Central California.

We actually had a few drops of rain up in Reno the other day and it was accompanied by a bit of thunder in the distance. For sure, that is about the size of the rain for us in the month of July.

Hope to purchase a new laptop tomorrow. I think the one I have in Reno is about to give up the ghost. It shuts off right in the middle of a post and starts back up after cooling off for a bit. (Sure sign of a terminal problem.)

It's raining! (AGAIN)

We have been dry for a few days, but they say that this combination of storms will last all this week. Thank goodness! We need the water.

Whoa! The coffee tastes particularly good this morning. Checked the obits before I made it. Didn't want to waste an entire day with fruitless actions. Once again, I did not make that list.

Spouse is flying back to Yorba Linda tonight, so the dogs and I will have to fend for ourselves until she returns on Friday. Not fun, but we will handle it and grumble. LOL!

Not much going on this coming week. Will probably attend the school board meeting on Tuesday. District will lay off a large group of teachers this year and we just might hear the results of the civil case the district has filed against former board members and former district level administrators of the old Grant District.

News is not good in areas close to us in Sacramento. It looks like we are growing foreclosure signs rather than trees, shrubs and flowers in out front yards.

We are not really affected yet, but our portfolios have shrunk considerably. Guess we shall just hang on and ponder.

Y'all take care hear?
