(Nearly) Wordless Wednesday: The Winds They Were A-Blowing

Our weather was particularly blustery this week, resulting in dusty skies, freeway closures, . . .

 

and a greater-than-usual tumbleweed accumulation. 
 





Thanks for the calm after the storm.

    It's almost as if you are on a different planet from me. What do you do with all of that tumbleweed?

    I've never seen a real life tumbleweed before. Cool! I hope the winds die down soon for you. We are expecting another snowstorm starting tonight! UGH.

It's a fun challenge for writers, and a delight for readers. Go over to her blog to read what others have written, and feel free to post your own story, too!

Ten Things of Thankful: Valentine's Day is in Spring Edition

Despite what the groundhog predicted, here in my neck of the woods we have been enjoying balmy weather.  I think the nation needs a west coast groundhog to provide the local forecast.  I've spent time in my backyard this week, pruning palms and roses, pulling weeds, and planting raspberries and lilacs.  For those of you still buried in snow, I offer a hopeful glimpse of weather to come:
