Good night
Still snowing. Snowing again. We lost power for about 5 hours this evening, but it's back on now. Way past bedtime.

snowy
It's 8:45 Saturday evening. I don't plan to go out there an measure that snow, but I'm thinking that the new, plus the old, is about 10 inches. The forecast is for between 9 and 22 inches of snow by tomorrow morning. It is snowing steadily, tiny icy particiles. They look much more "snow flakey" in this picture than they really are. Still have power. No wind. Temp in low 20's.

celebrating 30 years
In the words (more or less) of Jackson Browne ....."The next thing I remember I was all moved in, and he was buying me a washing machine." Our dishwasher has been faltering, but Doug is investigating. It's not nearly as old as we are! Before household repairs, we celebrated this past weekend with a stay at the Lyle Hotel, on the Washington side of the Columbia River.
We drove over to the Oregon side and got to see what the little town of Lyle looks like from Rowena Crest on the historic scenic hwy 30.
One of the places we stopped was the Columbia Gorge Discovery Center. There is a raptor center there and one of the birds they had rescued was a Northern Sawhet Owl, only about 7 or 8 inches tall. He had lost an eye because of being hit by a car. His name is Hootie.
We also drove to Goldendale one night and met up with Lydia and Dave for dinner and a trip to the observatory. That was a unique experience. We didn't get to gaze much at stars because of lots of fog, although we did get to look through the telescope. Doug and I drove back through Goldendale on our way home, up the Klickatat River along the route that was used in the olden days by the
Goldendale-Lyle railroad. That was a great drive. We had our first picnic in the eurovan (I still think of it as a bus). I'll post those pictures later today.

wonders never cease
well, the cat sitting on the mouse is not so unusual, but the mushrooms growing out of trees was kind of unique. Those white ones were real tiny and in too much shade to get a good picture of. They look like something that should live waaaaay under water or something. Of course, Woody wants you to come over and play ball, any kind you'd like. And, yes that's a VW bus with the hood up.
