  • And another inch of snow down on the ground with more predicted for today.

    I don't know what the record makers are saying about Clallam Bay...or even if they remember if it exists.  But it definitely feels like records are being broken.  We have had snow on the ground since  at least the 10th of December.  Just astounding.

    I was rather contemplating a trip to town.  But staying home is just fine.    Its also cheaper.

    Yesterday was beautifully cold.  Blue sky and sunshine.  So the kids were able to get out in it.  Of course horse back riding isn't the greatest of fun.  As the horses would only stay on the paths...and rightfully snow as sinking up to 2.5 feet in snow  when the snow decides its held up enough weight is rather annoying. 

    I kept trying to get a "whole" picture of Zeria and Thunder.  But Thunder had a similar opinion as Samuel gets when I'm trying to take pictures of him.

    It was also really really bright out and hard to see what I got in the view finder.    But mostly Thunder just wasn't intrested in posing.

    See the evil eye he's giving me.  LOL

    Oh well, I tried.  And as you can tell Zeria rather likes her cape I made her.   

    I have a mom who has hired me to make one for her son.  And that's without even advertising.  LOL  My kids are the advertising. 

    So plans for today are to keep warm.  To putter, and to be lazy.

    Originally we had the baton coach coming out tomorrow, but with all of the snow they won't...which is fine.  The kids haven't exactly practiced over the holidays much, so it gives us time to get back into the swing of things.  Now I just have to inform the kids will of course result in weeping and nashing of teeth, so I'm avoiding the subject until I'm more awake.

    Oh did I mention the snow banks are up to the edges of our windows...due to the snow falling off the roofs, repeatedly.  The kids think its immensely funny to be able to walk beside the windows and see into the living room....the bottom of the window is five feet above the ground, and now its level with the snow banks.  Just amazing.
