May 1 Weekend Rain Storm - Let's Have Some SUN!!!

3.5 inches of rain and counting... it started raining here Friday night about 10:00 p.m. - big thunderstorms! Rained all night... we took a walk down Mossy Bluff Trail access road around 1:00 p.m. Saturday to see what is normally a gentle waterfall that turns into a creek running underneath the footbridge on the actual trail. It's one of my favorite places - a quiet canopy of trees that blocks out the rest of the world. Not today! It is raging, and if the weather forecasters are correct, this time tomorrow the water may be OVER the bridge! Stay tuned!





















This is the creek/waterfall beside our house and some views of the rain from our back yard.

Morning Visitor

I saw movement outside my office window this morning and looked up to see this little red fox sitting on our driveway, scratching behind his ear like a dog! We're not sure that it's a good thing to see a fox this time of day - hope he isn't sick - we usually see them at dusk! (Click images for larger views.)

Take a Shallow Breath!

I kept looking out my windows this morning and wondering, "What is wrong?" I knew it wasn't moisture or humidity that made the valley hazy. And then the sun hit things just right... and EVERYTHING was yellow! Absolutely unbelievable - the air was so full of pollen that it created a thick "yellow haze!" These pictures really don't do it justice... but I wanted to try to share this image!

I've seen a cloud of yellow stirred up by a wind gust before, but this was beyond that by a long shot! Get the Zyrtec, Allegra and Claritin ready - we're gonna need it!

Let's Play Ball!

We went to Erin's ballgame Monday night. She scored 2 of the 12 runs. The Heber girls beat Shirley 12-0. This is a traveling team.

We're on Baby Watch!

We're officially on baby watch. The doctor says Jasmine's baby is ready... now we're waiting on Mom to catch up! These pictures are from a baby shower held Saturday. Jasmine was glowing... she got some really wonderful things, and the nursery is ready. Now all we need is a baby!
