Los Angeles is not a rainy city. When the rains come, we are paralyzed. We seldom get a dowpour, so our roads have lots of oil build-up. People are just NOT used to driving on our slick roads. Accidents happen, power goes out and chaos ensues. Due to our recent forest fires, mudslides are imminent.

Rain is predicted for this weekend. The Golden Globes Awards Ceremony is being held on Sunday at the Beverly Hilton Hotel. This will be a good weekend to stock up on snacks, sit on the couch, knit and watch TV!

Love the "Rain Maiden" and it does seem we are in for some BIG rain next week. We shall see....Enjoy your weekend as I am sure it will be funfilled as always!
Great pictures. I need to figure out how to pull up archive pictures. Another thing to learn! Have a great weekend...just pretend you are a duck!
Great seeing you (and everyone!) last nite. I really do need to work on my consistency. Have a great weekend!!
The burn areas above Altadena are, quite literally, almost in my backyard! I will be watching the rains with trepidation... but at the same time we do so need the moisture here in California. A mixed blessing!
