In the deep, mid-winter

 

It's been a busy 48 hours and I've barely opened my computer, kind of nice, actually. We drove to Twisp early yesterday morning, taking advantage of a short break between mountain storms and the highways were OK. 

However, there's a jaw-dropping amount of snow here in town (and fell more last night.) It's piled so high on the deck we can't even see the river, or the deer, for that matter, without standing up. 

Fortunately, the driveway was recently but somewhat sloppily plowed, so still pretty rough going maneuvering in and out of the garage. We managed to get unstuck with an old trick involving door mats. John also figured out how (and where) to put on the new chains. Which I'm sure he hopes was a once-in-a-lifetime experience.


This is just a winter short visit and I don't expect to be back now for many weeks, possibly months. Not much is planned for the next two days, but I'll make dinner for everyone here tonight and we'll have our belated Christmas gift exchange. 

As the year winds down, wishing you health and happiness in 2023.
