Just a bit of snow on the deck! Like 2 feet. It was an easy winter drive with the roads clear and traffic fairly light. What a difference a week makes on the mountain passes. Everything is fine at the house and just as we left it. Our property management guy was finishing up when we got here. Driveway clear, furnace cranked up, water heater on. I felt like the queen arriving at one of her castles. Ha! Except for all the stuff to haul in (John) and put away (me.)
One mishap yesterday, or I should say, misstep. An unfortunate encounter with a patch of black ice in the grocery store parking lot in Cle Elum. The only thing hurt was my pride. Sitting in wet jeans for the remainder of the trip reinforced the lesson learned. Don't trust innocent-looking "wet" pavement. It's not Seattle.
The daytime temperature is in the 30's - like springtime for the deer.
I watched them this morning lounging in fluffy snow beds in front of the house. Can you see their heads sticking up? Life is good if you happen to be a deer in Twisp.
No big plans today. We're driving up to the Loup Loup Pass downhill ski area to have a look. It's only 14 miles from here. Amanda and Maya are skiing this morning, and Nova has ski team practice until 2. Amanda made great pizza last night, tonight I'm cooking here.
