What a shame the weather was poor - seems the entire world has had strange climate changes recently. HUGE snow storm crossing the US right now - we may be lucky and just have rain, but some states are getting two feet plus of white stuff!<br /><br />Lovely pics even in the drizzle - thanks for sharing.

The East Coast is getting alot of snow/cold. Here in Colorado, it's dry and 55 degrees outside today! And your weather is stranger yet. Blame is on La Nina I guess.<br />Well, at least you got away and got to hike up to the top of the hill to take a picture for all of us (thanks). But always nice to get back to your own routine.<br />Welcome home!<br />Jan<br />xoxoxoAnonymousnoreply@blogger.com
