Valley Weather

Yayyy! The fog has lifted, and all is right with the world, or at least definitely better. The fudge has been cooked, the exercise circuit walked, the plants watered, the photographs taken, and the shopping done. None of this can happen when we are socked in with fog. I am a sunshine, summertime, 100 degree + kind of gal and don’t take kindly to night, winter, rain, sleet, snow, fog, or wind.

I know the fudge recipe is called “never fail” but I have prior bad experiences making candy in humid weather so that project was on hold for clear weather. The exercise can’t progress if I think I might get wet. In the fog, I forget I even have a backyard, mostly because I can’t see it. I should have probably tried for some photographs of the fog, but I’m sure I will have another chance for that one. And as far as shopping goes, I don’t even like that on the best-of-weather days.

I’m talking valley fog that stops traffic, fog that makes you unable to find your house, fog that keeps you from getting to work on time or at all, fog that keeps you in the house so even the mail doesn’t get picked up. Well, today we got a break from it and hopefully it will be more than one day.

Look! This is six pounds of home made fudge.

Tomorrow, another photograph I took today that I have been waiting to get for weeks.
