Rain, Rain go Away...

I've lived in Seattle for 5 years and I've never complained about the weather. Well, my friend at planetdanika put it really well - thanks D.

Winter Wonderland

We had more snow last night. The roads were just beginning to get back to normal and we get hit once again. It's been really cold in Seattle, an unusual winter. However, I must say that I have enjoyed the beautiful white powder on the ground.

My sister-in-law, Mary Jo, lives in Fall City and she's been enjoying 10" of snow since last week. Cross country skiing and snow shoeing around her property - FUN!

Snow in the City

Too lazy to get the flash

It began in the morning as a light dusting of snow or what the weather man calls a trace however, by 5:00pm we ended up with about 1" of snow fall. Ever since I moved to Seattle we get at least one day of snow in the city during the winter season and I like it. It was early this year so we may get another one later on. Hey man, we don't have to worry about shovelling it on a daily basis so the change is nice.



With a substancial snow fall comes a beautiful white layer on our lawn and trees, giggling kids, snowmen, snow angels and SNOWBALL FIGHTS. Along with the 14 kids in our neighbourhood, Tim and Scott, our neighbour, were the two biggest kids out there. While the kids were outside having fun I was inside, warm and cozy trimming our tree. Tis the season..
Happy holidays everyone.

It's Cold Out There

Tim and I had a wonderful time in Jamaica and although it is nice to be back home, it's always hard to say goodbye.

The moment we departed the plane the cold hit us, we had gotten so use to the warm sun beating down on us that we had to pull out the warm coats and get into bundle mode. It's wonderful to be home, sleeping in our own beds and having a different pair of shoes to wear (limited clothes when you travel) but our trip was really jam packed and fun. My next entry will have pictures and a review of our time in our second home.

A Little Snow Fall

Our Front Yard

We have had 3-4 full days of beautiful clear skies and sunshine. Last night when I went for my run it was so cold that at 2 miles I was still freezing my butt off, literally. That cold brought us a little snow last night, certainly not an east coast blizzard, but it's always nice to wake up to a little white on the ground. I've been told that Saturday we should expect more... and we thought spring was here.
