And one of the people I shared a dining-car table with on the California Zephyr was talking about how it had snowed on her westbound trip a few days before. I believe that was in the Rockies rather than the Sierra Nevada, though.

I have now successfully made contact with people of my generation who are descended from the two candidates for my paternal grandfather; barring further monkey business back in 1910, one should be my cousin and the other my cousin-in-law. One is reluctant to do DNA testing; the other, I don't know. Physical appearance of the intervening generation my help.
And we have what appears to be a large red-eared turtle in our swimming pool (which is more like a pond with the pump and chlorinator out of commission. Trying to catch it, but so far no luck.
Come to think of it, if it is indeed a red-eared turtle/terrapin/slider it is an invasive species here (I just verified that), and I had better give it to animal control or the SPCA.
Spring is FIRST! 🌷🌼🌿
