WELCOME to The High Country of Tuolumne County

It is such a pleasure to welcome you to my blog!

Hope that you enjoy the smell of fresh air, the songs of the birds - even if they are woodpeckers putting holes in your cabin walls! Let me know how you like this "new enterprise" of mine!

CONFUSION reigns!

Mother Nature is not sure if it is WINTER or SPRING!  We had rain, corn snow, sunshine today, and all in three hours!   The skiing was fantastic according to the locals - 6 inches of new snow on top of all the old stuff that has been here since Thanksgiving.  No wind to speak of but a coolness belaying the fact that it is March after all and Spring is just around the corner.

I overhead the grand daughters talking on Saturday about what they were going to WEAR at 8th grade graduation!  "Of course we will have gowns covering it during the ceremony, but we will look nice afterwards!"  GOWNS for 8th grade; we called it CONTINUATION in Denver when we were that age; we were EXPECTED to continue with our education!  The Graduation event is June 2nd and here locally 8th grade graduation is big stuff with a dance afterwards and even a trip to Washington DC for a number of them, and some 7th graders get to go on that trip also.  It doesn't seem possible that those cute little babies are lovely young ladies now!

Life is sometimes like our weather today - confused.  Are we in the prime of life or the beginning of the end?!    Some days it is easy to find the sun, sometimes you have to have patience.  Come August we will be wishing for moisture, rain or anything to quench our thirst for variety in the weather department!  

"One Day at a Time, sweet Jesus, one day at a time!"  -  old Jazz spiritual!  We must be thankful for each day - the present is a gift!
