Weather Reports are Redundant

Daily, "highs in the forties, lows in the thirties, mostly cloudy, chance of rain."

Foggy

This is why I always carry a little point-and-shoot.

Flat tire...

I managed to get a flat tire during the rainiest night we've had so far. The triple A guy said "it's nice to talk to someone who's not in a ditch!"

More snow...

First "real" snow of the year... It's so pretty! I've spent the day snuggled up with blankets and cats and the blinds open so I can watch. We've gotten about three inches so far. It's starting to slow down a little bit, but according to the satellite images online, there's plenty more comin'. The images below are links to more photos.

Guess what we got today...

When we got off the freeway, Caine yelled, "snow!" to which I replied "No way dude, it's just cold... that's just ice."

But I was wrong. It snowed in Everett for about an hour (we missed it). Snow! Once again, I know, I'll get tired of it, thanks for the warning. But right now it's still novel. Snow!!!

Woo Hoo! Yard Work!!!

No, I'm serious. I never knew yard work could be fun. When it's your very own yard, though, it's not so bad. Caine and I spent the day raking leaves and pulling weeds. It was awesome!

Thanksgivin'

Man, was it cold. Freezing, at least, maybe not much colder, but I'm a wimpy southern california girl, so I dressed up in about five layers before I ventured outside to view the morning.

That's my car. I'm SO glad I didn't have to go to work that morning. The sky was an unbelievable blue, and I took a photo, but the photo really can't describe how blue the sky was, so here's my frosty hedge instead.

Caine and I enjoyed a nice quiet morning with our secret stash of Kona Coffee and a beautiful sunshiny frozen day.
The cats enjoyed the sunshine.

And I have a new favorite picture of Beezer.

Caine and I planned and executed a fancy dinner all by ourselves. It was an attempt to distract ourselves from the fact that we're away from our families on Thanksgiving for basically the first time ever. Visit our food blog for the detailed synopsis, but on our menu we had lamb, green bean casserole, spinach-artichoke-brie stuffing, baked mac and cheese, sweet potato bacon biscuits, and berry crumble cobbler for dessert. MMMMMmmmm..... it was delicious.
