Why I live in CA, part 2

We are on our way home from the trials in WA, after getting skunked (sigh) both days.  It is SUCH a blessing to get back into California where even in the northern part of the state they know what kind of weather is best -

We do get snow, but we are civilized enough to leave it in the mountains for the most part!

There are a few wildflowers starting to show up, such as these goldfields, which I found where Dodger and Proxy did their best to catch ground squirrels.

Meanwhile, Rick took this picture of actual frost on our front lawn on Sunday morning!  ;-)
