    Snow Falling on San Francisco


    Snow, sleet, and hail have been making rare appearances in San Francisco Bay Area this past few years. My friend who lives in the Sunset district sent me a picture of his snow-blanketed backyard yesterday. The picture you see here is from our very own Portola Avenue, not too far from Twin Peak, where a man was about to do some grocery shopping at Mollie Stone. I attended an outdoor wedding and played a couple songs on the piano before my fingers turned rigid. I think I'll just read and write over hot beakers of tea today.
