This morning fog rolled in. Last night I could hear ships' horns in the channel most of the night due to the fog. Joel and Siri headed to town hoping for not too much fog.

The sun has been shining down upon us since eight o'clock and it is now midafternoon, - it has finally reached high enough in the sky to skim the tops of the mountains, - there is not a cloud and here we are, luxuriating in this wonderful 'present'. While I was out feeding the birds I found the first lenten roses in bud..... I hope you have an early spring, Pat, - you do take your chances being where you are, so vulnerable to the jet stream.

It can mean life or death here. Although I live in a "green" desert we need our winter rains in the valley and snow on our mountains. If we don't get them our summers will e devoured by fires.

Yesterday I puttered around on the deck - pulled out old dead plants - discovered pansies coming up from seeds dropped last summer, some primroses starting to show and two pots full of big mats of leaves of the carnation plants - not really spring - but hints of it anyway.<br /><br />I'm not a fan of the cold and when we lived in Wisconsin and Kansas it got mighty cold - I'll take the temperate climate any day.<br /><br />Whenever they have the cold or stormy weather on the east coast we have nice weather here - so we can tell ahead of time what it will be like - so cold back there - pleasant here - and it reverses too - when they have exceptionally nice weather we will have chilly and rainy weather. Our weather forecasters think they have it right most days - but the surprise on them is that they don't really - so we often go by our own weather signs - Mackerel Sky means rain, ring around the moon means moisture soon, pink sky in the morning, sailors take warning - etc - and we are more often correct than they.JoAnn ( Scene Through My Eyes)https://www.blogger.com/profile/12621061028973446378noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-280582018791422638.post-87115707960015465462014-01-23T08:47:05.930-08:002014-01-23T08:47:05.930-08:00I am so glad I live in Oregon as we have very simi...I am so glad I live in Oregon as we have very similar weather.

The air feels colder here today and the forecasters have been cagey about the weekend's weather so I stocked up for a mini siege while shopping today - just in case.

It is 0 degrees [F] as I write this at 8:45am - too cold! We have to take a kettle of boiling water out to the birdbath every few hours as it freezes so quickly. The birds do appreciate it as they immediately come to drink and drink. We must go buy more seed,suet, and peanut butter today for them.<br />No ice fishing here on the East coast [near Philadelphia] that I know of, but we're pretty far from Minnesota in the mid West.:-)littlemancathttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17042609230502564280noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-280582018791422638.post-5925497249426239142014-01-23T05:31:29.175-08:002014-01-23T05:31:29.175-08:00I remember the sea freezing when I was very young....I remember the sea freezing when I was very young. (1963?) The same year that the snow lasted until my birthday in April. I bet the Witham froze that year.

An hour to the east, Frankenmuth (our little Bavaria) is hosting an Ice Sculpting festival. People come from all over the States/Canada to compete, chainsaws at the ready.<br />An hour to the north, there's TipUp Town out on the ice of Houghton Lake. It's not only an Ice fishing contest but they have a carnival, music and food - and a parking lot!<br />I'm content to watch the Australian Open on TV.shadypinesqltrhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16755180453538893117noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-280582018791422638.post-88458175864159804142014-01-23T03:36:45.389-08:002014-01-23T03:36:45.389-08:00Thanks for the warm thoughts, Pat!
