Ice Can Look Nice
When there is an inversion and the fog rolls into a shivery valley it is both dangerous and breathtaking. Walking on the gravelly path seems stable, but even the small twigs that stick up around the edges grab onto the moisture and create little artistic ice crystals. a male house finch adds a spot of color! After a few days of this wintery chill, a warm Chinook wind blew in. It was probably pushed ahead of what the weatherman called an "atmospheric river" which drenched the west siders way beyond seasonal norms. It is forecast that Christmas will be warm and no white stuff falling. At least not here. **** May there be moments of peace and hope in your hearts as you celebrate this holiday. Hug each other. Feed the birds ****

And no worries about the saved bakeware and tupperware. ... I know what you are saving it for. You are going to use those lids that don't match anything to make giant eye glasses (faux) and those little footsie hop skippy things. .. you know ... where you use the lid, cut out the center of it, wear that around your ankle, tie a string to it, tie a weight on the end of the string about 18 inches out ... and then you go a skipping and hopping as that thing hoola hoops around your ankle, and you jump over it with your other foot ... hopping and skipping and hoola-ing.
Great fun. It's going to win you the most popular grandma award.
You are inspired. Not insane.
The raccoons were a good idea by the way. Haven't needed them yet.
Keeping our fingers crossed!
And the Intracoastal Waterway is a chain of sounds, inlets and channels between NC's barrier islands and the mainland. It's kept open to navigation almost all the way up the coast by dredges (where necessary).
Mine's posted if you'd like to stop by...it's of one of my "children"....
Oh, and I love your page. Reminds me of my mom - the dust can and does wait.

Hugs and blessings,
Thanks for peeking at my pigs for WW! (It would be OK to have lipstick on my collar if it came from Mrs. Jim.)
We are sorta' out of pocket for a bit due to Hurricane Ike.

I do have my Ike Skywatch Friday picture up now. I have to make good use of my borrowed (in evacuation) computer time.

I have a little something for you on my blog, btw. :)
Love,
Sue
