The Mortician's Daughter: Grey Skies are Gonna Clear Up!

I really have no right to complain when 600,000 of my neighbors in the state just north of us (Kentucky for those that need a geography refresher) have been without power for several days now following a huge ice storm this week....but I've had enough of these grey skies (how did I ever survive all that rain in the Pacific Northwest for 14 years)!!!

I always enjoy the changing of the seasons ... but winter is often a little too drawn out for my tastes. We have a warm weekend ahead of us with temps forecasted to approach the 60s (time to get some yard work done... and taxes... and laundry... my, how I digress) but then we're looking at snow showers again on Monday night. The kids love it...they've been out of school again this week due to light snow showers on Wednesday but these swings in temperature seem to take a toll on one's immune system (at least it's good for business - for those of us in the healthcare industry...sorry - that was somewhat MORBID) ;-)

So, I'm counting down the days till spring and thought I'd share a few photos from summers of our recent past ... since I didn't start blogging and sharing photos until last fall (seriously - my family can confirm - the Christmas card was the only photo ever sent out by this household).

Hope these bring warmth to your heart during this frigid cold season...
