@hollydolly Publix is a big grocery store in the South in America. Instacart is a program you sign up with to have deliveries from many stores. We pay $9.99 a month. Of course, you wouldn't know. Thanks for the hugs.

I figured out how to get back on the store I was locked out, so I guess it is good now.

Thanks for the explanation Rae..... (y) You pay $9.99 a month for supermarket grocery deliveries ?....wow !... ours costs as little as £4.99 per month... as long as we have deliveries after 3pm....

...and if we want a superfast delivery in less than an hour... it costs £1.99 as long as we spend £15..or more...

Left: With two 4-wheel-drive SUV's, my daughter and friends were camping in the boondocks of the Death Valley National Park
that is surrounded by high mountain ranges. When the weather forecast called for new snow in the mountains, they decided to
come home while the mountain passes were still open. This picture was taken by a drone, copied from an iPhone and cropped.
They made it out in the last minute and drove home in 6 hours. Right: The first of 3 storms gave our house 1.2" of rain, bringing
the total for this rain season to 7.1" which guarantees a drought free year. I am living where the white arrow tip is pointing.

Just another picture of our garden. BTW, yesterday I had my regular dental check-up, and today I'll have a skin cancer check-up.

Left: At sunrise, I let the pups out to do their morning business. Of course, they also play. Then breakfast, and afterwards
we'll go on our daily one-hour morning hike. Right: Our hawk-in-residence. I just saw another hawk. Will they build a nest?

God loves you, and so do I.

Your plants and pups look happy, the hawk too. Glad the young ones made it out okay. We got a lot of rain in the Bay Area yesterday too - all day. Oddly it was bitterly cold (by our standards) as well as wet. In what I expected to be lull (but never came) I walked Ember around the block, through the park and back home. We even passed on dog off leash but when I took her off lead she just looked miserablely cold and wet. With her short fur it wasn't any fun. So I brought her home, toweled her off and let her upstairs onto my bed. Didn't complain about being house bound after that.
 
We had 2 nights of snow after a ~45 day drought, the first night was 10" and last night 8" so there were 2 powder days. Only got to ski today though, yesterday I trained and we brought the camper to storage finally. It's been at the shop to add batteries and a diesel heater so we'll be further testing my wife's tolerance of spring and mid-late fall camping.

Today I get in the line up 20 mins before t time and it turns out the lift that goes to the top was out of service for an undetermined amount of time so we all pile into the gondola line. I don't like riding the gondola for a number of reasons. Anyway that costs about 10-12 extra minutes, but I was able to turn lemons into lemonade.

The ski area typically has a staggered with the avalanche prone areas being last to open on powder days to allow for avalanche mitigation. The rope was just about to drop into The Bowls so I buckled up and got in there and had 2 great runs. It's so nice when the powder absorbs all the energy, smearing it around like butter. Made a 3rd run in some gentler terrain and then the light went away and the President's Day week crowd hit hard. There were many out of control 14-17 yo boys and they scare the crap out me so I beat it out of there.

Glad to hear of the SoCal rains, flowers are blooming like crazy and it should be an outstanding bloom this spring, but sad to hear of the Tahoe avalanche victims.........Shiffrin wins Gold in the Slalom!!!
