weather

We have had three sunny days in a row. Not sunny like I remember down in Arizona, but typically up here in Washington, with clear skies comes frigid temperatures. Yesterday I managed to get out and split a little wood to haul in for my wood stove My intent today was to gather up small, twiggy stuff to get the fires started.

Yesterday, December 11, 2007, had a very ominous beginning. We were getting rain, sleet and snow. All of that on top of the 8 inches of snow already on the ground. We like to begin our days meeting friends in local coffeehouses, but these country people decided not to give it a try. That was a large part of the "ominous beginning".
