HI AND THANKS FOR THE VISIT TO MY SNOWY POST AND YOUR COMMENTS

 I am so tired of talking about snow on our mountain forums  or looking at snow I will start blogging about everything but snow.  One last thing I will say is we can get 2 to 4" in a few days and then after that it looks like one more storm coming in around April 4 and after that possibly clear skies and spring weather. 

So, here is a beautiful house I saw in Shell Beach when I was up helping to take care of family last fall.  I was able to get out a few times a week for several hours while my niece took over after work to help with her parents.  I would visit several different beach towns, Pismo, Shell Beach, Avila Beach, Morro Bay, Grover Beach and spent some quiet hours walking around and enjoying the sights.  Shell Beach became a favorite because of the many pelicans that would fly to the rocks that were out in the ocean.  

Anyway, I'm hoping to get inspired to blog again which I haven't been for a long time.  Hope u all are doing good and enjoying spring.  I can't wait to see a flower bloom here.  Actually the only flower i saw blooming was at the hardware store where we bought bird seed yesterday.  It was a few daffodils in a plantar.  

I'd rather see beach houses right now than mountain homes, lol.  

I love the landscaping at this house.  I saw so many beautifully different houses walking in Shell Beach neighborhoods.  

NOT MUCH TO SAY EXCEPT

These storms just don't stop.

BUT LUCKILY we don't live in Tahoe.

adding  a few pics.  Total of where we are about 8 feet of snow.  These pics were day or two before the blizzard actually stopped.  That's bout 4 feet of snow i think on the storage shed and the snow eventually went over the fence and anyway, i'll post more  to show you first hand what the news was always talking about - out here anyway, lol.

Mike was out there every day for like three weeks because of the storms that came before the blizzard trying to keep this part of the driveway clear to the road and would continually shovel off the jeep.  then the plow would come around and bury us with a huge berm again over night.  

This was my area below i would try to keep shoveled..all in all after these sucessive storms and the blizzard it was like this and a few times completely to the top ..all that snow had to be shoveled down to the backyard which eventually make on top of the almost 8 feet of snow we got made it another 10 feet or so berm.

another day another big load on the deck.

every damn day, lolol i would see him have to go out there and keep going.

my neighbor's house across the road before the snow got so deep we could have actually walked on top all the way to his deck.  

my toyota is covered with a tarp right there.

GOING THROUGH MY PHOTOS AND FOUND THIS

 I really don't remember this photo - I took so many that day a few years ago.  Today after seeing it in my files I realize it's three generations cooking, my husband, my grandchild and my son.  It was the guys that cooked that day (my son is a chef).  I had nothing to do with making that meal.  I love this photo.  My grandson is now a junior and a lot taller.

A SCENE IN WINTER OF THE LAKE

 I actually looked at the date today here on my blog and see it's been over three months since I posted.  Thought I would drop a post here and see if it gets me back in the groove of posting on blogs.  I've done a few here and there at a different blog but it's time to rev this one back up.   Also with a big snow storm coming in I will be visiting blogs I haven't seen in awhile as I'll have plenty of time to do that.  Hope u are all doing well. 

ABOVE THE CLOUDS

 Two weeks ago when I went home to pack for a longer stay down at my sister's near the coast, we drove on rim highway and a lot of the times during this time of year we are above the clouds.  The day before I left to come back to my sister's house it was a beautiful day, cloudy below us and sunny above us.  I miss my drives on rim highway when I'm not in the mountains.  Also miss being home.  

Slow improvement is happening with my sister.  She is no where near coming home yet and still has to gain strength to walk independently and definitely has memory issues.  I can only pray all this will be resolved for her in time.  

It snowed in the mountains yesterday at a higher elevation than we are.  There is more snow coming  next week and I can say I'll be fine with not seeing snow this winter.  I can see photos on FB that I follow for mountain news but I'll be down here at the central coast with beautiful weather.
