Snow Day 2005

Maybe you've heard that the Pacific Northwest has been having a little weather in the last few weeks.  Well, we're having a real Central Oregon winter for a change and it's not all bad.  It snows some days then it gets cold and clear.  The snow crunches beneath your boots and the air is about as fresh and bracing as air can be.  It's great fun to strap on the snowshoes and tromp out the through the woods by the house.

Of course, there is the need to deal with all that snow as it falls, and - being more or less acclimated to the niceties of life such as groceries and DVDs - auto and foot access into and around the house seems to be necessary.  Of course we could just snowshoe all the way to town and back but we're not that outdoorsy!
