Here is a shot of the view we have from our house today. How we do love watching the changes out our windows.
I am always inspired by the beauty and variety of this wonderful earth.
No matter the time or weather, beauty surrounds us in this great North West where we love to live.
Just wanted to share this picture with all of you. We are really glad the construction is done and we are enjoying the new patio very much.
How soft everything looks with the snow covering it and making everything look clean. And how glad we are not to live with it more than we do.
OH MY, OH MY, OH MY
And this morning there is suddenly the sound of dripping water as the temperature rises above the freezing point and the ice starts to melt. I am so glad we don't have to be anywhere for a couple of days. Not so many Christmas presents ready, maybe a lot of coupons under the tree this year. But totally loving the reason for it. 
This is the working section of Dans' office. He has what seems like an acre of desktop and equally large areas for filing and books.
This side of the office has the TV and he is organizing all the church books in the book case. How nice to be able to find something we are looking for.
Yes, the great Northwest got a dose of snow this last couple of days. We had been hearing the predictions and worrying how bad it would be. It wasn't bad around here, but trying to get to the cabin was quite the adventure. It was so wet and slippery and trees were down all around. I finally got too scared to go any further and turned around to come home. If the heat isn't on enough, or the water freezes in the house, we will have to deal with the problems another (warmer)day.
Today, on the other hand, is so crisp and cold! One of those days that is so clear you can practically hear how blue the sky is. And the sound of the snow as it crunches under my shoes, is a wonderful squeaking crunch that you hear seldom in this wet, moderate area. While driving around on errands this morning, the temperature didn't get above 27 degrees.
