Good 39ยบ extremely foggy morning.
By noon yesterday we had gotten another 1/2" of rain and then no more.
Supposedly today we are getting rain and approximately another 1/2".
Talked to pal Patty over at the coast and when we got the 2" of rain, they
got 4" of that wet stuff!!! YIKES.

Five years ago today I posted this:
Yesterday, in the day time (unusual, as
he always showed up before in the dark) the feral cat, "BC" (Black Cat)
returned! I had not seen him, nor had any of the food in the back of the golf
card disappeared since the Saturday before the Super Bowl. He's been out and
about. I thought for sure he was dead. So, when I saw him I got a can of cat
food and took it out. He panicked and ran into the trees. I called him several
times and left the food. He came back as soon as I came inside...
It will take a while for him to accept
me and not be scared. I am so happy he's back and safe!
Now he sleeps in my slippers...
or on his perch by the door....
And while he's comfy this is what keeps us cozy and
warm:
