Spring Sprung a Leak

We have had a few days of temps in the low 70s -- really glorious spring weather. This evening the wind came up and some clouds blew over and Mark Finan (our Channel 3 weather man) tells us that winter is back. Snow in the Sierras, rain in the valley predicted.

Although we have lots of critters, there are no Groundhogs in Sacramento, so we never know what to expect. Our weather in March/April and October/early November is very unpredictable. Two days ago I attended a meeting where several of the women were wearing cropped pants and sandals. Hope they kept their sweaters and cords handy.

I am pleased that cooler weather will lengthen the bloom season of our azaleas, grateful that we aren't going into the long hot summer early, and aware of the fact that California doesn't have enough water and all of the rain and snow are a good thing. I'm also glad that I filled my gas tank yesterday. I hate to do that when it is raining.
