LA eNVy part 2

Spring in L.A. How well I remember it: marine layer every morning (which means it's grey until 11 or 1 o'clock) and then the sun shines nicely. Of course, down there you put a heavy jacket on if it's fifty degrees. Because that's a whole thirty degrees cooler than those extremely hot summer days.

Spring in Nevada now. Well, up here it's about how many seasons can you pack into a very short period of time.

The weekend was fabulous. Low eighties, blue sky, stars at night. Nice. It's kinda like The Screenwriter brought the weather with him. But he flew out on Sunday.

Then Monday arrived and so did the winds. Instead of the temps being in the 80s, the wind gusts were. So instead of our backyard looking like this:

It looked like this: What can I say? We had plans to replace several of the 4x4 posts this weekend. We did not have plans to crush our ten year old wisteria in the process. Kharma loved it--she thinks we enlarged the yard especially for her. Fortunately our neighbor is a dog person.

Ah, but that was yesterday. Today we woke up to find:

Yes, snow. Followed quickly by an earthquake at 8 a.m. Followed by an entire day of jittery little jolts. They are predicting seventy degrees for tomorrow.

You just can't get bored by Nevada weather.
