First Snow Fall of 2009-2010 Winter

Wow, I can't believe it's been so long since my last blog. I KNOW some of you have reminded me, but well, time flies. I'll show you the snow fall and then fill you in on October and November later.

It started snowing Friday, December 11 around 10am. It snowed steady with large flakes for quite a while and this is what we got.

That's Oak Mistletoe in the treetops.



My Hillbilly garden art, designed and rendered by my buddy Karen. The one on the left is a fishbowl, and the one on the right is Rosey. Doesn't she remind you of Rosey the maid on The Jetsons?



And this is Romeo and Juliette, loving the snow. That's a miniature pumpkin plant under Juliette. I love that little guy.
Jack Frost hung in here many, many days before the temps warmed enough to allow for snow.

We were seeing 15, 10, 8 degrees in the mornings when we awoke, and temps holding in the 20s all day. We are used to 30 to 40 degree temperature changes from morning til mid afternoon, so this was a real bummer. I never got warm until yesterday afternoon (Saturday).


October

Our daughter Jennie and her Michael came to visit. Here they are in the cedar paneled pump house on our "ranch".


We hiked to the top of the hill and there is the Klamath River flowing along. We love this " view from the top of our world."
I think this is our favorite spot on the property


J & M descending the summit.


Here they are checking out the Horse Creek Bridge before heading for Happy Camp and their coastal journey back to SF.

It was really fun having them for the weekend.

November

My sister and family were here for Thanksgiving. We ate at the Seiad School, a great community endeavor feeds the locals for a donation, and you even get to take leftovers when you leave.

Shanna, Elizabeth (Betty) and Stan.


We left Seiad after dinner and headed for Happy Camp where Big Foot was waiting for us.



This was a fun weekend, but way too short. We will see them again at Christmas time when we go down below.



Happy Winter to all and to all a good night.
