I've seen fire and I've seen rain...

But I never thought that I'd see - SUN - again!

Oh yes, it's still cold as ever (upper 30's during the day) but it's been sunny! And warm (sorta)! I've been soaking up the radiation whenever I can, even if it's through windows at work. My plants have all survived the dark winter and cold temps, and are going strong. I think I'm kinda like a plant, I need water and sun to grow. Luckily, the sun is coming up earlier and staying up later, and there's plenty of water around here! I'm a happy camper...

Let it snow!

Some pics from the last couple weeks around the Oregon Coast and Pacific Northwest...




My home all pretty and snowy (including barn across the street and bamboo surviving the freeze!)





Highway 30 along the Columbia River towards Longview, WA...




A lovely view from I-5 in Seattle of two buses that slid down a hill from Capitol Hill and gave freeway-goers a scare!
