Dispatch from the frozen north

 

18 degrees this morning. We won't get out of the 20's until Thursday. Seattle is well and truly frozen. From major freeways to side streets, the roads covered with ice and snow.

Pretty, that is, if you don't have to travel. The birds are flocking to the feeder like their lives depend on it, which is true.

Ah. Nothing nicer than a new flannel comforter cover to snuggle under. Thanks, Dad. I slept long and hard last night. Wonderful as it is, a big Christmas sure takes it out of a person.

And some handcrafted tea bedtime from Twisp.  Thank you, girls! Lovely and thoughtful presents all around.  How lucky we are.

Nova and Nana with our matching "shackets" from Costco. The family is headed back over the mountains today-- a long and snowy drive. Think Seattle is cold? Way below zero this week in eastern Washington.
