Good 32º drizzling rain morning. Yes, rain! We are on a flood
alert up here in So. Oregon and No. Cal. There is still a ton of snow out there!

lot of rain yesterday. Cleared off the roads!

night, then in the daytime it heated up to 39º. Sigh..... stayed dark and gloomy

And later the deer ventured out and two does and a fawn found
munchies under the tree...
And this is why I don't drive in this kind of
weather....

shallots cut up. peeled baby carrots, 2 pkgs button mushrooms cut in half, green
beans cut to bite size, 1 cup white wine, 6 celery stalks cut up, Tuscan
seasoning, salt and pepper to taste. Cook on low 2 hours, add in package of

Always so good and comforting.
Not going out again today. Too much snow. Even the trash can will have to wait!
