Don't get your Kayak's out just yet!!!  Snow and ice still abound so protect your Keister and Keep your boots on!!!  It's not that I want to put the Kybosh on your fun, but you might want to go to your neighborhood cafe and have a coffee Klatch complete with Kuchen and Kindred spirits...

After a week and a half of record breaking snow...

(over...600 inches since the beginning of the season)

...the temps this week are expected to get up into the 60's!!!

Let the snow melt begin!!!

(Even though there's another storm brewing for this weekend!)

The Three Amigos...

We were out of town this past weekend...visiting with friends in Grass Valley

Is it really time for Easter decorations???

We've had 5-8 feet of snow in the last 5 days...

Probably about 2 feet just today...

You'd think if you were smart, you'd stay inside by the fire with a cup of cocoa...

But nooooo....some of us "local" die hards go to the grocery store because we're out of trash bags...

To give you a bit of perspective...this is our second story window...

Our December storm is the last time snow was this deep on the deck...

Remember the patio furniture with umbrella???

For some odd reason...this is the only Easter decoration I've managed to put out...basically 'cause I bought it last week at Dwayne's Friendly Pharmacy!!!

It's still snowing...

It's been snowing off and on since last Wednesday...

I keep seeing posts of Spring flowers and sunshine in my blogging excursions...

But ya know what?  It's ok!!!  I'm still liking the snow!!!  

Ask me again next week...

Chasing Osprey Down Hwy 395...

Awhile back, as I was driving past the Mammoth Airport (yes, Mammoth actually does have an airport!) I saw two strange flying machines...no camera...just my Droid phone...which I dug out of my purse while racing to follow this strange machine...

Finally, I got it, shot it, and continued on my way while they flew off over the mountains...

Well....it is actually a picture of the Osprey...if you look verrrrry carefully at the end of the road and slightly above the mountain, you'll see what looks like dust on my lens...nope...that really is an

Osprey

Ok...so it's a bit far in the distance...no telephoto lens on my Droid...and if there is...I have nooooo idea how to do it!!!

Confirmed by Bennett Kessler on the Sierra Wave radio news broadcast...the two osprey were apparently being moved from one base to another, stopping at Mammoth airport for a short time!!!
