Tam’s Think Tank

Piling Up, originally uploaded by Tokenhippygirl.

Well… it’s snowing. Again. All day. It’s been coming down since some time before 7:00 this morning. Non stop. Snowing.

We had plans. We did. We needed to run errands. Go to get some stuff for the rental. Start working on it. Meet our electrician over there. Meet some friends who were going to help us do a bit of work on it. Put up some blinds… that sort of thing. Only, we can’t. We had to call everyone and say… sorry. We can’t get down our driveway. We can’t get out. And what’s more, even if we did get out, we wouldn’t be able to get back up our hill. The perils of living in the forest up on a hill. It’s beautiful, but not so easy to navigate when the weather’s like this.

Ah well, since I took this photo it’s snowed at least another couple of inches. I took this the first time I went out this morning to tromp around. It’s required isn’t it? Tromping around in the snow? Yes, I think it is. Anyway… my point is this, I took this probably 5 hours ago. Now, when I look outside, it resembles an odd looking ice cream cone even more than it did then, in this picture. It’s really piling up out there.

This shot was taken while I was standing under one of our big evergreens in the yard. This was a few hours ago. I’d say a couple more inches have fallen since then.

Our little man before his big snow adventure. I had to post this one. Look at him, he’s so damn cute sporting his now famous, at least to us, helicopter ears.

Weston’s been enjoying the snow today. He got to run around, build a snowman, take a walk, and eat some snow. A big day in the life of a fairly little guy.

It’s snowing again today. It’s been non stop all day and we’re probably up to 4 inches out there. For some parts of the country 4 inches of snow is no big deal, but for us here in the Northwest it certainly is.
