optimistic
This year's Fernley House Jack-o-Lantern sits on the porch in the rain contemplating its fate, which is likely to involve trying to improve the projected flower bed if I can figure out how to grind up the pumpkin sufficiently to help the soil there.
It's a good thing I didn't have to go to the Bay Area this past weekend. I would have had to leave on Saturday to skip the snow (and chain controls) over Donner. However, inasmuch as I do not have to be out in it, I say, "Bring it on!" as we need lots of snow and rain to refill the reservoirs and aquifers serving both California and Nevada.
