Post one of two: Shadow Mountains

At this time in the morning, the shadows of the tiny bits of snow we have cast huge. It's like looking at the Guilin Mountains.

See?



Can't you imagine wandering there, with your sturdy pack horse carrying your porcelain tea set and some charcoal, so that when you tire, you can sit down, make a fire, brew some tea, and watch the sky and the mountains?

It's amazing to think of you having snow!

Just on the mountains, thank heavens. (Though I have seen it come down into the foothills behind Glendora, Azusa, and Duarte.)

But, the mountains are not that far, so--

It's more than we've had in years.
