We thought this was going to be one of those snowless winters here in the Willamette Valley, but our patience paid off.  Yesterday we got our wish.  And Mary-Margaret and Katherine who live in fairer climes are going to be here to enjoy it.

I went out last night in my pajamas to take a few pictures and found Mary and Reiley across the street already out enjoying it, all bundled up on their porch swing.  You can see that their menagerie had the good sense to stay inside.

Mary-Margaret and Kobe ventured out a bit later in the wee hours and  she snapped this of our beautiful boy:

Early this morning, this was the view from my bed:

I do love my new windows!

My first task was to replace frozen humming bird and seed feeders with thawed ones.

Pretty soon it looked like an Alfred Hitchcock movie out there.

Back out front, you can see that Fritz and Elizabeth knew to leave their windshield wipers in the full upright position.

And could that be Dan in the background putting his clubs into the car??

He says he thinks he and Ruth will probably only get in nine holes today.

The Handsome (weather) Man says he cannot possibly be expected to measure solid precip, so I told him to take the day off.
