Oh for Florida storms that come through in a vengeance and soak right through the sand, instead of this continual dripping that transforms hard clay into fields of mud.

Mitzi, Where in N.California. I was born and raised and married there. Lived in Utah twice, Montana twice and California a great part of our life but came back to settle in the 4 season area in Utah. Live just south of Salt Lake and have the best of the research world here. We volunteer and work in the BYU library 2 days a week and can run to SLC when we have time. I have children in Ukiah and Rhonert Park as well as here in Utah. I was raised in Sebastopol on an apple ranch. We used to wade through the mud in the corral when rounding up the 20+ head of milking cattle and had to milk by hand when it flooded and the powere went out for 2 or 3 days. Those were 'the good old days'? I got depressed while in California when it rained and was overcast. Here if it is snowy weather it is bright and you can brush it off. Love it.
