We have tried unsuccessfully to grow spaghetti squash over the last few years, which is annoying, since other people seem to be able to grow them just fine.  These came from a friend and had sprouting seeds in them. I planted them and one is growing into a nice little plant. It will be interesting to see what comes of it. Unfortunately, the squash didn't cook up or taste very well. We are blaming it on the sprouting. 

Now, Jim wonders what we will do as it gets bigger!

We are "dry as a bone" so far this year. We've had a couple of limited amount of snow events, and a week or so ago, we got 3.5".  We need a good, slow, soaking rain. This winter has been very mild with more than usual 50 degree and above days. I have some good friends who take and display sunrise photos so here are a couple of mine.

Jim has been building and painting corral fence. I took the photo because the sunset afterlight made a pretty blue sky. It was only after I took it that I noticed how nice the painted fence looks.
