Windy & Cold 2-9-09

Today was a cool one; the low was 50 and the high was 63. Larry took off with one of our propane bottles to get it filled and when he returned he took his walk. I walked over for the Canadian Coffee Circle, we all needed light jackets today...the wind was brisk, but the sun was out. Larry showed up after his walk. We visited for awhile and then headed back home.

It was too cold and windy to spend any time outside, we took a walk up to the clubhouse after dinner and that was about it for our outdoor time. It started clouding up and got wicked black to the north, but other than a few drops it hasn't rained much at all today.

I spent most of the day on the computer. I am working on getting my scarves listed on my Etsy site. I got three up there so far, seven more to go. It should get easier the more I do it...there is that learning curve. To find my specific shop the address is http://www.artbyvalerie.etsy.com/.

We watched the President's news conference and then the southern California news came on...bad, snowy cold weather all across through there and with Pat and Mike leaving this morning Larry called to find out how their day went. Mike took highway 8 to San Diego which he hoped would be the best one to avoid the bad weather, but there is a 4,100 foot pass almost to San Diego and it had snow on it and it was snowing as they went through. Mike did not enjoy it...hopefully Pat was in the back somewhere not watching (they have a big Class A with a toad, carrying el froggos)! They had bad rain going north. They made it to their destination fine though...Santa Maria, Ca.

There was a lot of snow in the higher elevations of Arizona today too. I missed the name of the lake, but there is a lake that is full around Phoenix somewhere and they were letting water out of it. There are several states that would like to be able to have that problem.
