Today wasn’t that great, it started with a few sprinkles of
rain through the night then became heavier in the morning. At one point the
rain had a slight white flake consistency. I won’t say the word. Then looking
off to the distant mountains we noticed they had changed colour on the top. The
tops of these mountains would be visible and then disappear with the different cloud
layers. After lunch it looked like it
was going to clear but another round of rain moved in instead. The high was 9C
today, not sure how cold it was last night but it wasn’t as bad as we have had elsewhere.

Cathy had a call from Anne who is only 7 miles away from us
as she and her husband Ed are here for a couple of months. They live in Terra
Cotta. We hope to hook up with them in the near future.
While looking out at the mountains we noticed these birds
running around and found out they are Gambel’s Quail. The males are more colourful than the females
as in the case of many other species.

Cathy did some baking, making cupcakes and a cake and I had
some computer work to catch up on.
Hoping for a better day tomorrow...
