This week, and the past month, have been crazy weather...every five minutes it changes, it seems, and most of the minutes have involved heavy rain storms, flooding, high winds, relentless rain, and so forth. Today it was capped by hail! What is next? Locusts ?? Wait, don't answer that!! :-) This is semi-coastal, wine country, Northern California, the peaceful Mediterranean Climate...we are supposed to get Pineapple Expresses, but not relentless cold rain, and not hail, and not snow... I don't have any snow pictures but snow was *not* very far away! Yikes! I'm glad to have moisture... I do not want the "D" word (drought) but enough already... a moderate amount at a time and preferably not all at once... would be nice, okay? :-)

Ryme loves water...which is a darn good thing! |
 |
| Jerry the llama finds nice green stuff near and in the water... |
 |
| Ryme enjoying the water.. no we are not growing rice! |
 |
| It is a challenge to find ways to work dogs around all the water...Olive on a drive |
 |
| Olive again on a cross drive |
 |
| Part of the wetland waterway system in action...winter! |
 |
| Standing water in sheep areas... and a rainbow! |
 |
| Hail on my pickup...luckily not large enough to cause damage... |
 |
| Watch your step there, Ryme |
 |
| "Snow" at the end of the downspout? |
 |
| Wait! This is Wine Country! |
The local "Valentines Day" trials have been postponed due to weather again...and again...there is one more kick at that can and if the Atmospheric River is turned into a flood then it is cancelled. I'm just hoping that the "biggie" trials in March will be unaffected...otherwise it does spark memories of the year the big oak trees fell down in the driveway and onto Calistoga Road at the Sonoma Wine Country trial...crossing fingers that does NOT happen this year!!
The dogs (and I!) are stir crazy...hoping we get a break for at least a few days so we can work on our sheepdog home work.We have things to work on, and it's Friday...so Dream Big!
