The Sky Smiled

Posted on May 9, 2016 by If It Was Today

I came across this on our recent visit to Vancouver, when we went for a drive in the Fraser River valley. One has to hope the price would be very reasonable.

Identical Opposites

Posted on February 17, 2016 by If It Was Today

Snow. We have lots of it today. That often happens when it warms up, and this week is no exception. But it’s still cold enough for the snow to form drifts, and when it’s sunny, that creates some wonderful “sparkling” … Continue reading →

Rain

Posted on January 30, 2016 by If It Was Today

After five days of sunshine, this morning we woke up to light rain. Given the extended drought in California, the locals were all pretty happy about the rain. All we had planed for the day was wine tasting, so we … Continue reading →
