Winter Wonderland in So-Cal

After many years of drought we are experiencing a really wet winter this year. Finally the rains have saturated the hills around us and the young green grass is sprouting like crazy. This spring will bring
beautiful flowers everywhere. I am sure the desert will bloom and display a work of wonder this year.

We have had a lot of snow up at our cabin and enjoyed a few wonderful days, filled with long walks,

 quiet evenings in front of the fireplace,

and some great wine and food at home for the humans.
This is a good start into a new year.
