Our bit of winter weather has arrived and to tell the honest truth, we are tickled. Sure it is arctic cold out there and we only got about a half inch dusting of the white stuff, but boy howdy how fun it is!
The cats have all come indoors and Lola can't seem to get enough of playing outdoors with the neighbor dog, Izzy. Teri went out and threw snowballs for them and since they BOTH love to chase and catch, they were incredibly entertaining jumping and catching mouthfuls of snow. I look at the photos of myself and notice the grey temples, the wrinkly eyes and realize that I am a woman in her mid-forties and I'm still out there tickled as hell to have a snow day...
Oregon is an amazing state--that is not to say that other states aren't just as amazing--I just know that I am feeling gratitude this morning at being able to experience so much in this part of the country without really having to experience severity--we get to dabble and play without months and months of ice and snow.
So, as we sip our hot cocoa inside a relatively warm house and enjoy the interisting light that is created by the snow-covered skylights, we are definitely feeling ready to embrace the holiday season. It is almost time to bake the pies, make the rolls, roast the turkey and glaze the ham...our winter is here!
