Yup, we have had enough rain to for the year. In a good rain year, this creek flows over the road, closing the road for a day, maybe 2...but this year it has been closed for 4 days now. And finally after 10 hours of constant rain, the sun showed it's face. They are saying the worst is over...hope so. But we are lucky compared to the landslides, fallen trees and floods that other cities in the Bay Area have had.

Taken from my window this morning. We don't get much snow here so I was very pleased to be off work today and be able to go out with my camera. The snow was still falling, but I enhanced it a bit in Picnik.

Thank you so much for visiting my stream !!

Have a fabulous Friday & weekend, my friends ;-))

I love the weather at the moment. I like it when the colour of the sky turns into a cloudy but bright white, there is many wind but no rain. I often call this "Irish weather" ;-)

I'm still looking at the flowering plants, likely in hopes of finding the odd one still standing. I've been amazed at the beauty of some of their changing colors. This is perennial geranium.

I received this gift from a coworker today for Christmas- what can I say but they know me so very well. This will go well with my Lord of the Rings sword collection!

Mark Knopfler - Golden Heart

www.youtube.com/watch?v=QVGumxRz3Oo

She was swinging by the bangles in a main street store

A while before we met

The most dangerous angels that you ever saw

She spied her amulet

And she took a loop of leather for around her neck

And that was then the start

The most dangerous lady on her quarter deck

She found her Golden Heart

You found your Golden Heart

Then we swirled around each other and the thread was spun

to some Arcadian band

I would stop it from swinging like a pendulum

Just to hold time in my hand

And you shot me with a cannonball of history

And long forgotten art

I'd be turning it over as our words ran free

I'd hold your Golden Heart

I'd hold your Golden Heart

Nothing in the world prepared me for you, your heart, your heart

Nothing in the world that I love more your heart, your heart

Your Golden Heart

And every time I'm thinking of you from a distant shore

And all the time I sleep

I will have a reminder that my baby wore

A part of you to keep

And I'll send you all my promises across the sea

And while we are apart

I will carry the wonder that you gave to me

I'll wear your Golden Heart

I'll wear your Golden Heart

Nothing in the world prepared me for you, your heart, your heart

Nothing in the world that I love more your heart, your heart

Your Golden Heart

I took this picture during the Christmas season 2007...I thought it was amazing that someone went to so much work to decorate for the holidays. Even the grass and the roof are just covered in lights. It was amazing! I'm not sure the picture does it justice...
