Pretty flowers.
Morning, all.
More rain
And still cold higher up, cool here.
We'll take all the snow CA doesn't want

Well I avoided the 'password' hassle the other day. But it took some time to get Janet up and going. Seems she was using and older email that wasn't receiving incoming email. 'It' could send but not 'receive'. When I got that straightened out, she was able to get the ECF email and do the deed.
Since I've been coming up dry with any banter lately (we all get in a slump at times), I'll post a quote from Dylan made in a 1966 Playboy interview ::
'PLAYBOY: Mistake or not, what made you decide to go the rock 'n' roll route?
DYLAN: Carelessness. I lost my one true love. I started drinking. The first thing I know, I'm in a card game. Then I'm in a crap game. I wake up in a pool hall. Then this big Mexican lady drags me off the table, takes me to Philadelphia. She leaves me alone in her house, and it burns down. I wind up in Phoenix. I get a job as a Chinaman. I start working in a dime store, and move in with a 13- year-old girl. Then this big Mexican lady from Philadelphia comes in and burns the house down. I go down to Dallas. I get a job as a "before" in a Charles Atlas "before and after" ad. I move in with a delivery boy who can cook fantastic chili and hot dogs. Then this 13-year-old girl from Phoenix comes and burns the house down. The delivery boy - he ain't so mild: He gives her the knife, and the next thing I know I'm in Omaha. It's so cold there, by this time I'm robbing my own bicycles and frying my own fish. I stumble onto some luck and get a job as a carburetor out at the hot-rod races every Thursday night. I move in with a high school teacher who also does a little plumbing on the side, who ain't much to look at, but who's built a special kind of refrigerator that can turn newspaper into lettuce. Everything's going good until that delivery boy shows up and tries to knife me. Needless to say, he burned the house down, and I hit the road. The first guy that picked me up asked me if I wanted to be a star. What could I say?
PLAYBOY: And that's how you became a rock 'n' roll singer?
DYLAN: No, that's how I got tuberculosis.'

Nice one ... yep, that would be a Dylan ramble. I just finished a short biography on Bob Dylan ... some things in it I totally forgot about. Like how could I forget he was once married to Joan Baez. And how she helped him break into the scene and then later it life after the divorce he snubbed her pretty bad at a concert.
"Ob-la-di, ob-la-da Life goes on ... "
Morning, all.
Rain is backing off a bit, still cool temps and a bit more snow in the hills. Maybe we'll get to 75% of average...

Well, since both of us are very long time Dylan fans, we both know he's not known to always tell the real story .. that's Bob, make it up as you go ..
Morning, all.
More rain, despite the guess that it was going to stop. We'll take it. Snow pack is now up to about 75% of normal, so a long way still to go...

Well spring is springing up here today. It's a warm sunny day and the crocus are popping up all around the house.
Wow, yesterday was amazing. The sun was shining and it was warm enough that we really didn't need a jacket. I saw 2 people wearing shorts, not that surprising though since I did see a guy wearing shorts not that long ago and it was 32 degrees.
The crocus are up and blooming and there lots of other green plants poking up in the flower beds. The 10 day weather forecast is showing that our April showers are arriving in March.
We have a couple pair of Pileated Woodpeckers foraging in our back yard! Haven't seen one of them since we lived in the woods before we had kids. We've got Hairy Woodpeckers too visiting our feeders and lots of blue birds too. In this house we're enjoying a closer look at the birds. How nice!

Maybe an expat from western WA?
Lots popping up here as well, although they may be over-anxious...

Still kicking here in the PNW. Rain seems to be backing off for a couple, so they claim. A little more snow high up, maybe the guessed return of rain later this week will bring more...

Good late morning to the Young at Heart.
I'm removing and replacing my gutter guards .. hurting in places I did not know I had ..
