Winter Wonderland

WinterWe have been living in a winter wonderland. Today was the first day I left the house in a week. Snow that piled up on the driveway and the street kept us pretty much snowed in, and then freezing rain hit, but at least we had electricity. Without it, we would have no food, no heat, even no water since the well pump is electric. Luckily Washington winter only lasts a week or so. Any minute I’ll start seeing green shoots peek out of the ground. I do love the change of seasons (except when it turns hot). Happy winter to you all.
