Rain, rain, and MORE rain!!!

It rained here ALL DAY yesterday (Sunday).  That doesn't happen very often and I honestly don't remember the last time it did so.  After hubby toddled off to work, I sat around, feeling bored.  I watched the birds outside trying to go to the birdseed, which was covered with water.  They got to it with no problem.  In fact, by the end of the day, it was completely gone!

I headed up Highway 74 about 9 a.m.  I wanted to see if it was snowing up by Pinyon.  Nope.  But, it was snowing up on the mountains, at 8,000 feet.  The Toro Peak webcam showed snow and I could see it through the clouds moving across the tops of the mountains.  I turned around and drove home for lunch.

After lunch, I sat around again and by 3:00 I was bored again, so off I went back up the mountain.  I could see the clouds which were much lower this time.  I'd read on Facebook that snow was falling in Anza and Pinyon is about the same elevation, so back I went.  I did stop and take some photos of the clouds this time, as they were setting down into Deep Canyon.  Still no snow, but I do believe after I made it home, it got a LOT colder!  I can't see outside yet this morning, but I'm sure the snow level is way down.
