We are setting a record for the most consecutive days of dry, mild, sunny days in December and January. Even when a cool front comes through and lowers the evening temperature, no showers accompany the front. But my aperwhite narcissus are in full bloom. Last week Max wanted to pick some for his mother. I was reminded of the onion flower bouquets you and Mel used to pick on your way home from school. Barbie.

During my mandatory semester writing for the college newspaper, I had to conduct vox pop interviews with people on how they felt after 20 straight days of heavy rain (which would go on for at least another week). They were about as glad to talk to me as you would imagine. ;) But I did get a money quote from my roommate, who saidthat the weather made her feel "sluggish and primordial." I feel your pain, m'love, and I hope those sunkissed, lotus-eating, thirsty gods of weather in California decide to show you a little mercy.

But thankfully you're headed off to Lotusland again. Although if memory serves, it's raining cats and dogs there, too. Sigh....the weather is mucked up wherever we go.

Nyssa was ticked that it took almost 10 minutes to get a live person on the local tv channel to report on what was happening. In Mississippi and Alabama they have been known to preempt all network programming for a whole evening during bad weather, constantly giving reports, spotters everywhere, computerized tracking that names every little village in the path of the storm and such. Lots of lightening, lots of thunder, some wind but we did fine without the reports. Now they say we will have snow showers by early tomorrow morning. Then back to 60 degrees by Tuesday. Somehow the rain sounds good, constant, not schizophrenic like the weather here.

The ranch is a tinderbox, and we actually think about where to turn the car around so that the muffler doesn't inadvertently ignite the place. On Christmas night, a neighbor's campfire touched off a burn, which was stopped only by the dirt road and a field recently plowed for winter rye. Water is good. Could you please send some our way?
