Just a tiny bit of snow 12-20-08

Saddleback Mountain is composed of several peaks, the tallest is about 5,700 feet, grouped together on the eastern side of Orange County, CA. Most years it gets a little sprinkle of snow on the very top, but on Wednesday, Dec 17th it really got dumped on. This picture was taken by my friend Patty Mayer who lives in Laguna Niguel, which is south of Saddleback, so she gets a better view than I do from the NW.

There is also snow on the San Gabriel and San Bernardino Mountains, which can be seen from my area, but I have not been out anywhere since Wednesday. Thus - no pictures. But I suppose a lot of you are just tired of snow anyway!

I was out on Wednesday to see the hand therapist who turned out to be a budding quilt maker and a new member of Beach Cities QGuild. Quilters are EVERYWHERE. And then I drove in the pounding rain to LBeach to see the PPrince and his family. But the time I drove home in the evening it was merely sprinkling. More rain promised for Monday.

Here is an unbelievable UK sunset:
