🔶️FLASH FLOOD WARNING🔶️

Los Angeles County is included in a flood advisory released by the National Weather Service on Saturday at 5:12 p.m. The advisory is in effect until 8 p.m.

The NWS Los Angeles/Oxnard CA said, “Flooding caused by excessive rainfall is expected. Minor debris flows on the western Bridge Burn Scar possible, along with minor rockslides and mudslides possible.”

“Minor flooding in low-lying and poor drainage areas. Minor debris flows on the western Bridge Burn Scar possible, along with minor rockslides and mudslides possible,” the NWS said. “Turn around, don’t drown when encountering flooded roads. Most flood deaths occur in vehicles. In hilly terrain there are hundreds of low water crossings which are potentially dangerous in heavy rain. Do not attempt to cross flooded roads.

Find an alternate route. Flooding is occurring or is imminent. It is important to know where you are relative to streams, rivers, or creeks which can become very dangerous in heavy rains. Campers and hikers should avoid streams or creeks.”

ALTADENA STORIES

MY MOM'S MUSIC BOX
By Leslie Aitken

It's funny how our memories work, isn't it? If you are like me, you turned off a part of your brain on January 7th. It was an ability that I never thought about. Apparently, I am pretty good at it.

Psychologically, it is called fragmentation. I learned about fragmenting years ago in a college psychology class. I knew that I was always "good in an emergency," I could feel the scared child step aside and let calm, sensible Leslie step in. She's been running the show - MOST of the time since the fire.

Lately, however, I have been feeling little cracks in the walls I built. And little bits and pieces of my past tumble out. I guess it is good that my psyche feels safe enough to handle certain memories. But it isn't easy.

Today, I remembered my mom's 1940s musical powder box. She called it a pin dish. It was etched aluminum. The base had aqua feet and an aqua winder on the bottom. The top was cupped with an inserted porcelain lid with pink flowes. My mom kept hair pins in it.

As a child, I loved when she'd let me wind it up "not to much." It played "In The Good Old Summertime. " The upper rim of the base had a little wire on it. When you put the lid on it, the wire pressed in, and the music stopped. As a small child, it seemed magical.

I remember sitting in her room in the late 50s, watching her pin her hair, and being allowed to wind up the base. Yeasr later, she gave it to me. I felt honored. I don't know where in my house it was when it vanished in the inferno. But today.....I remembered having it.

I know this will continue to happen as we travel through the complicated maze of emotional recovery. When these memories return, they feel like emotional paper cuts. They sting and can take our breath for a minute. It's all part of the process.

I am going to do a short series on psychological fragmentation over the next few days. I hope it helps.❤️

FROM: PASADENA HUMANE

73 animals got adopted this week! What a great week full of smiling faces and wagging tails!

A very special kitty named Batman got adopted, and we couldn't be happier to see him finally go home. Batman had been in our care for over four months and was very shy. He would often wait until our staff left the communal cat room before he would even feel comfortable eating. He slowly became a bit more accepting when staff and volunteers would enter his space - but we knew he would need a patient adopter with a big heart to understand that he may never be a cuddly cat.

Liga was that big-hearted adopter who walked through our doors, ready to adopt the cat that had been at the shelter the longest. She even had experience with undersocialized kitties like Batman and knew she could give him the right home. Whether Batman eventually becomes a snuggler over time or simply remains the independent boy he's always been, we're grateful that he found someone who will love him exactly as he is.

A huge thank you and congratulations to all our recent adopters. You make our week... every week!

RECIPE OF THE DAY
Country Apple Fritter Bread
🍎🍏🍎🍏🍎🍏🍎

🔺️Ingredients
▪️Nonstick cooking spray, for the pan.
▪️1/3 cup light brown sugar.
▪️2 teaspoons ground cinnamon.
▪️2 apples (any kind), peeled, and chopped.
▪️2/3 cups plus 2 tablespoons granulated sugar.
▪️1/2 cup (1 stick) butter, softened.
▪️2 large eggs.
▪️1 1/2 teaspoons vanilla extract.
▪️1 1/2 cups all-purpose flour.
▪️1 3/4 teaspoons baking powder.
▪️1/2 cup plus 1 to 3 tablespoons milk or almond milk.
▪️1/2 cup powdered sugar.
Salt to taste.

🔺️Instructions
▪️Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease a 9×5-inch loaf pan with nonstick cooking spray.
▪️In a small bowl, mix together the light brown sugar and ground cinnamon. Set aside. Toss the chopped apples in 2 tablespoons of granulated sugar and set aside.
▪️In a large mixing bowl, cream together the softened butter and remaining granulated sugar until light and fluffy. Add the eggs, one at a time, mixing well after each addition. Stir in the vanilla extract.
▪️In a separate bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, and a pinch of salt.
▪️Gradually add the dry ingredients to the butter mixture, alternating with the milk, beginning and ending with the dry ingredients. Mix until just combined.
▪️Spread half of the batter into the prepared loaf pan. Sprinkle half of the cinnamon sugar mixture evenly over the batter. Layer half of the chopped apples on top. Repeat with the remaining batter, cinnamon sugar, and apples.
▪️Bake in the preheated oven for 50-60 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
▪️Allow the bread to cool in the pan for 10 minutes before removing it to a wire rack to cool completely. In a small bowl, mix the powdered sugar with enough milk to achieve a drizzling consistency. Drizzle the glaze over the cooled bread.
▪️Slice and serve the Country Apple Fritter Bread as a delicious treat or dessert
