Who Says It Never Snows in California?

Yep, came down here from Alaska to get away from a little bit of winter. However, I should have gone to Hawaii...yesterday this area received 5 1/2 inches of snow. That's okay -- keeps me snuggled into a cozy spot in the living room close to the heater, my computer on my lap. The picture at top is Patte's back yard.

I am glad I wrote posts ahead and set up a schedule to post every three days. I'm doing a bit of writing, but most of my posts are already done. And here I am atop a snow-covered mountain in my friend's cabin, yet still able to connect to the world. That never ceases to amaze me!

Here's one view of the two miles of dirt road up the mountain to Patte's cabin.

Here is another view. There are occasional views of the valley below or the hillside drop on the other side. It's picturesque and a bit steep, and I am actually glad I don't have to make such a trek to get to my house. Who says Alaska has the monopoly on hard-to-access places? It is pretty nice today, but the weather folks are predicting a week of rain.

Patte has two vehicles: One is a very nice large, newer car. Normally, she keeps it at the bottom of her "big hill" and uses an older four-wheel-drive truck to traverse the homeward road.

Patte has a very busy schedule, but we limit trips up and down the road if possible. Today she had to go to a funeral, so it gave me a chance to get some posts prepared and ready for publishing.

Snow doesn't last long around here. You can see a little on the tree in foreground and some in background.

I am just as glad, as I didn't really leave Alaska to see snow.

There's your travelogue for today. I'm enjoying my stay! Hope all of you are progressing nicely on your website journey and enjoying the experience.

P.S. Got my hair cut while I was here, and then had my friend take a new picture so I could put it on my profile.. What you sees is what you gets.
