They say it's going to rain

but all we've been seing these past few days are blue skies and some magnificent cloud banks like this.




I'm not complaining, mind you, as there is apparently plenty of snow falling up in the mountains building up our snow pack so that it won't be a dry summer. We have had a couple of minor sprinkles and even some hail in the valley which lasted all of 10 minutes. Last Monday or Tuesday evening we even got 1.5 inches in less than an hour but by the next morning you couldn't even tell it had rained.

Now I don't have any excuse for not getting out and mowing the back lawn. I was really hoping I could wait until it looked like a mountain meadow.
