Frozen Fog

This morning we woke up to 18 degrees and freezing fog. The dampness from the fog coated every tree limb and froze - makes for a beautiful sight! Now when the sun comes out the trees should sparkle.

Brrrrrrrrrrrr!

We woke up to sub-zero temperatures this morning with lots of snow. This same shot looks a lot different from what it did earlier this month.

Leaf Raking

We had the kids here over last week-end and they raked a big pile of leaves under the tree and then dropped into the pile from the lowest tree branch. It was a fun fall day! A few days later, the golf course crew came by and removed all the leaves. We got our fun in, just in time.

CBS Weatherman stuck in Yakima

If you have been following the Early Show on CBS, you have seen their weatherman traveling across the USA from Anchorage to NY. He started with just $50. He's working and begging his way across the country. He got to Yakima yesterday and got stranded. I actually emailed him and got an answer, but he managed to get out of town (barely) without our help.

Here's a video link to part of the story - followed by a written page about it.

Gleaning

Yesterday, I had a craving for some fresh fruit, but was totally out. I didn't want to drive all the way to the store, so ...... since it was a gorgeous sunny day and the apple/pear harvests are finished, we decided to glean the orchards down our road. We only took what we could carry in our pockets and after a couple hours in the fridge, they were ready. Sooooo good!
