Robin ~ I live in Somerset near Grizzly Flats. If you don't know the area, it is southeast of Placerville, between Sacramento and Lake Tahoe. It is about 3500' in elevation. It snows here every winter, and it is hot and dry during the summer. So you can imagine that my favorite seasons are spring and fall. Though sometimes spring is like winter and fall can be like summer until it turns into winter.
Sometimes it is different though. We had snow in November and December. This January has been like spring, though it could change without warning. It is cold but warms up a little to 50°, though today is supposed to be 60°! It is still around 40° in the morning.
