I didn’t make it to my hometown this trip, had to be content to fly-0ver and wave . The ranch, at only about 1,000ft elevation, had five inches of snow the week before the wedding, flattening the special grains they had planted to make the area beautifully green and enrich the soil. I prayed, my sister sent positive vibes, and it rose the 3rd day I was there – not kidding

This weekend, our Tahoe friends had hoped to grill. It snowed. They did anyway, and sent this photo. You will notice our friend here in bare feet. In the snow. Tough cookies, them Tahoe folks. I saw on CNN that Alpine Meadows, where I used to ski, received 71 feet of snow this year. Seventy-one. Wow. Makes my back hurt just thinking about shoveling that. Makes me glad for the desert.
Coming up on Kinzi Blogs, a new series: Stuff Rednecks and Aye-rabs Like. Always looking for common ground, I had some chuckles of over Arab-friendly sights at the Ranch Wedding.
This winter was the longest one ever in Missouri, I think. I hated it.
Will be waiting your “Stuff Rednecks and Aye-rabs Like” post, sounds interesting.
71 feet wow. love the add in of pictures on your blog, yay!
Lovin’ the Hawaiian shirt for the cook out too. No hat tip to the weather there…

71 feet of snow! Thank goodness for global warming!
I read an article saying that they are really concerned about flooding on the west coast this summer. They have a massive snow pack that hasn’t even started melting. It’s hard to believe after hearing “The snow pack isn’t big enough! We’ll have a drought” every year!
Jaraad, it was a tough one for you there. Wish we could have sent the precipitation our way!Hope you like the series
Robin, yea, some sweet girl taught me how
Marvin, hah, it is the 70s global cooling come home to roost!
Rebecca, oh dear, I bet there will be that danger, adn I agree, I don’t remember too many years without that dire warning.
