Winter Wonderland

It started snowing very heavily this morning about 9 o'clock and hasn't quit. Now less than 6 hours later this is what it looks like - with no hint of it stopping any time soon. I wonder what it look like tomorrow.

Here's our house as it looks right now......... those big white spots are huge snowflakes.

Out with Thanksgiving and In with Christmas

This was our week-end to take down the Thanksgiving/Fall decorations and put up the Christmas ones.
We got our tree up inside and changed the motif of our all-season wreathe, which we made last year. Pictured are the before and after of the change over yesterday.

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.
