70 degrees and counting

When the rain stopped, it really stopped. The sun has been shining for the last several days and each day has been a little bit warmer. The mustard is tall in the vineyards and the hills are luscious green. Early spring in northern California is gorgeous!

Beulie came back home and seems older somehow, a bit more mature. She's still energetic but suddenly more manageable. The baby is growing up. I took her to Juvenile Hall yesterday where she played nicely and then fell asleep while the boys were busy making valentines for their girlfriends (and moms and grandmas and sisters).
