And now for something completely different....


OK, so you've probably figured out this isn't our house, or anywhere near Cayucos, for that matter. My friend Lisa sent me this picture and I had to share. This is taken from Belmont Shore (just south of Long Beach, CA) looking East, toward the San Bernadino mountains. It was taken last Saturday, after most of the storm action had ended. What an incredibly clear day, and the snow on the mountains is amazing! Thanks for sharing :) (you can click on the picture for a larger view)

So what's up here? We weathered the storms just fine. Zero problems with water, wind, etc; the house is still dry & intact. The only small problem we had was a mild ant incursion, nothing major, and they seem to have backed off. It's drying out now, but we still have a chance of rain a few days this week.

Of course, two days before it started pouring, I put a bag of "lawn repair" stuff all over. It's a biodegradable paper mulch mixed with seed & fertilizer. It got so wet for 5 days or so, who knows if it will grow. We've watched a number of birds enjoying the seeds though. Sigh. Someday, the lawn will be all better :)
