Snowzilla

OK, the northwest is not known for being a great place to drive when it snows. Of course that could be because there are steep hills all over the place. No big flat areas like Ohio where the road does not rise to meet you, but instead lies there flat as a pancake. Besides, we have very little snow removal equipment. But there is no need to worry - some days are just made for staying home. This wasn't one of them, but after running errands - bank, post office, bank again, grocery store, video store and back home now it is time to sit in the room and enjoy the view.

Out of my window I can see. . .well, I actually went outside for the photos so there wouldn't be the glass distortions. It's really fun that these appear to be almost "black and white" photos, but they are not.


What a beautiful day. Unfortunately, my husband's work has all been cancelled, so it is a pricy view. But since it doesn't happen too often it's not too much of a problem. We would not want to have mid-west winters out here. On the other hand, if we did he would probably be adding "snow removal" to his "pruning and garden maintenance" job description.

The birds are eating food like crazy. The humming birds are as cute as ever. Happy snow day!
