Vintage on line

So. I had plans for another post today, but you know
how it is...the best laid plans... and then come the
tornadoes, snow, hail the size of nickels...
things change! :)
Since I was pretty impressed with our unusual May
weather, I thought I'd share it with you. Now,
remember, this is Calif., not Florida, not North
Carolina, not Kansas.
We don't really do tornadoes...or rain for that matter!
The flash floods and the mud slides were just a bonus!
YIKES!!!!
The sky grew pretty ominous in the afternoon....
This is the view from inside my car...you can't tell
that the water is standing 3 inches deep...and I just
waded through it...
in these shoes! Hey, it wasn't raining this morning!

Phewww! There are the palm trees...I really am in
Calif!
I love this street...so tree lined...
makes me think of New England, although why?
I have no idea since I have never been farther
than Nebraska!
This is for Amanda @ Jacaranda Cottage...see it there
A? Just above the yellow sign? A hint of periwinkle?
Sorry, the pic is so bad...but I was driving and the
person behind me was a bit irked...go figure!
Rainy days call for SOUP! "Convict" soup. Mmmmm...
Apparently this recipe will never be transferred onto
a real recipe card!

Something to warm the wet toes!
And, what have we here...the May sun has come
back! I knew it couldn't last for long! Oh, well, I
loved it while it lasted!
Stay warm & dry!
