Woke up to a gorgeous (but not necessarily desired) winter wonderland this morning. Rain had been fairly continuous during the evening last night, and unbeknownst to us, it turned to snow just before we went to bed, and by the time the sun came up this morning, we were greeted with more than an inch of heavy snow covering everything, included the Saguaro cactus!! What a surprise, to come all the way to Tucson, only to be greeted by the coldest weather so far this year!! Oh, well, seems to be on par with every other winter, when we go somewhere looking for warm weather and are greeted by the coldest temps on record (or nearly). Anyway, we enjoyed the beauty of it anyway, remembering the advice we heard in Alaska, "There's no such thing as bad weather, just inappropriate clothing," and dressed in numerous layers, including long underwear, and set about doing our chores. Started watching the Rose Bowl parade during breakfast, then afterwards Delford and a couple of his friends stopped by and came in and chatted for a while, then we spent the rest of the day watching football and resting up for our busy week next week.
