It's Raining in Three Rivers

Last night we had a progressive dinner over on Kaweah River Drive and it rained! It was such a festive atmosphere with all the Christmas decorations and the thrill of a much needed rainstorm. This morning our rain gague showed just under 2" of rain and it has continued to rain off and on all day. We have had about 5" of rain so far this winter.
This morning the rivers were running strong with the new rainfall and the moss is a vibrant chartreuse on the rocks. I just love Three Rivers in the rain.

I stumbled upon this cool little light fixture on Charlesandmarie.com and thought it was perfect for GreenBasers.Basically, it works just like a solar-powered garden light, but sits inside on your windowsill. Perfect for cold winter nights and a great substitute for those plug-in electric candles people put in their windows this time of year. Another cool TeamDiana.com idea to brighten your life!

Just a little update on Three Rivers. Recently the air has been crisp, with fall leaves brightening our surroundings and the Sierras as our backdrop. Today as I look out the window of my office, I am in awe of the glorious rain that we are experiencing. The town is alive with holiday cheer. The local fire department is once again selling Christmas trees. They even delivered mine to my home for me this year because they did not want to scratch the top of my car! Where else but in a small town could one receive such service? The local ladies group just delivered cookies to our office in thanks for all that we do for the community. On Sunday, the town will gather together to sing Christmas carols, enjoy hot chocolate and each other’s company. I have acquired Christmas ornaments to pass out to all townspeople who attend. It is going to be so much fun!
