The earliest tulips have arrived in the East Bay garden where I took on the job of feeding my daughter's roses yesterday afternoon – a cold day when snow had been predicted for San Francisco and the East Bay. I did not see any, but a friend you had flown in the day before told me patches of snow were visible in the hills. Apparently there was a lot of snow at the top of Mt. Tamalpais in Marin County this week (which I would know if I paid proper attention to local news sources instead of spending all my news-time on the computer reading creative translations from the Chinese, as seen in the post below) and people were so eager to drive up and see it that there were two-hour traffic jams.
