Beautiful Day

We finally had a chance to try out our dry washer again but when we started digging dirt it was too wet to run through the machine.  We had a soaking rain almost a week ago and the ground that we wanted to work still had too much moisture.  If you can take the dirt and squeeze it in your hand and make it clump its too wet. 

We did enjoy a very beautiful day visiting with friends from Montana.  We were able to sit outside and enjoy the most perfect weather.  It was warm and sunny with just enough breeze to keep the sun from feeling too hot.  Its hard to believe its January!  We have so many people coming down now especially from Canada and they weren't able to put water in their RV's because it would just freeze up.  They talked of running into snow as far south as Las Vegas.  Brrrrrr
