RE: snow

We are having no weather here. Clear, no wind (!) and in the 60s this
weekend, today we are getting a bit of cloud and they say it will rain
tomorrow night. We'll see.
I went riding on Saturday and hiking Sunday morning. Nice.

Small weather story here. Apparently, we've have a front moseying
through. It's been blustery for the last 2 days and the day high temps
have dropped from 81 to 69. We've also had a skimpy 0.3 inches of rain
in the last 48 hours--which the blustery wind simply sucked up again as
soon as it fell.

I'm going to HD tomorrow to find a Japanese, Chinese. or Thai egg plant
for a pot on the front patio. The tomato seeds I planted early last
week are beginning to germinate.
