Typical Sierra spring: Two days ago, it was sunny skies and beautiful. Friday morning, I woke up to snow. It was so cloudy that you couldn’t even see Mt. Rose most of the day (as evidenced by the photo). We may not be barbecuing this weekend, but I predict spending a lot of time in bed with my laptop, hopefully making progress on some writing. Gotta love silver linings!
