Everything is just better in California – the wine,
the food, fruits and vegetables, the comforts of living. Even the
instrumentalists are generous and curious. Everything is wonderful.  ~ Beth Anderson, American Composer

This has been a long and dreary winter here in Northern California.  Not cold, but cloudy.  Thankfully, the Tule Fog is leaving us, and pretty soon, like March 1st, it will pretty much be spring.

You may remember the Tule Fog I blogged about previously – this is that same intersection on a nicer day, at at the same time of day – about 8:15 AM.

The winters here are very mild, and more like spring in other part of the country – rainy, varying between 15 and 60 degrees each day, and every green.  The rest of the year here is essentially summer – it gets warmer and dryer, the grass on the hills turns "blond," and we have day after day of clear sunny skies.  Ahhh.
