SP carries on the family tradition of swimming on the front beach.  Not that there was too much swimming going on today!

Oh, such joy!

And for an update on the greenhouse project, with master gardener Caleb – it is going great!  Look at those potato plants!

Snow on the Mountains!

Yes…I saw it for myself…fresh snow on the mountains! I had heard a rumor going around that it was happening, but until you see it yourself, you question people’s eyesight. By the time I got over the shock and thought to take a picture, the fog had come rolling down. You’ll have to take my word for it.

On second thought, the fog has moved up again.  Let’s see if we can see the snow… 

You can't really see it too well.

I guess you’ll just have to believe me or not.
