I gather it has been a grim rainy day in the UK today for most so I thought I’d tell you about Mt Baker to cheer you up.
On Saturday I was driving up the valley towards the mountains and noticed that the Sisters looked much whiter than usual. They normally show high rocky ridges exposed at the summit delineating the glaciers (7500′), but they were completely enveloped in snow, no ridges showing, most unusual for April!
Out of curiosity I checked the precipitation stats. Evidently we received over 21 FEET of snow up there in March ALONE. I’ll let you know whether they ever manage to open the roads up there this summer. I am not placing my bets in favour.
So you see that rainy day could be a deal sight worse.
Remember the old proverb. “I used to complain I had no shoes until I met a man who had no feet.”
Happy Bank Holiday.
CO, this is in the true spirit of the Job’s comforter! Thank you, I suppose. 😦
No hosepipe ban there then MrsO?
Been gorgeous ‘ere. Lunch out on the terrace, shirt sleeve order for gentlemen, skimpy tops and such fripparies for the ladies.

I remember some of your photographs, Christina. Spectacular! Today on the Riviera has been mainly cloudy with a cool breeze. I feel sorry for holiday makers, but at least they learn that the South of France does have weather.
All reservoirs and lakes absolutely full to the brim here, especially on the coastal plain. Our stream is running well and only about a dozen homes here have wells off our local mountain, never run dry yet.
We have had a very wet rather chilly spring.
Wet and very windy here. We badly need some rain though. Fair doos.
