Our unusually cold and snowy weather here in the Northwest has been causing travel snafus, but all that white stuff still makes me as excited a little kid. Out come my cross-country skis and Sorrel boots for jaunts around the neighborhood. Bring on the hats, scarves, and mittens. It’s a winter wonderland.No time to write much this week. I’m a notoriously late Christmas shopper. The last few days I’m running around Ballard shopping like crazy, accumulating gifts for a big family gathering on Christmas.
Then there’s the cookie baking and decorating sessions.
(Friends ask if I’m going to make my chocolate pepper cookies again, hint hint.) On top of that I volunteer to cook up a big batch of chili and host dinner on Christmas Eve for some friends and friends of friends. Gotta clean and tidy up. And of course I’m working this week.I’ll be back soon with more everyday adventures. With the recent and upcoming dumps of snow in the Cascades, it’s time to hit the slopes. And my aborted trip to Portland due to weather will be rescheduled soon.
So hug somebody today. Ask yourself, What can I do to help? Then do it.
Peace to you and yours.
Happy holidays.

Awesome snow-people appeared in our neighborhood over the last week - some of them huge and looming, others diminutive. There were families - snow-days, snow-moms, snow-kids, and snow-puppies. And a group of young kids built a huge snow fort with walls about 3-4 feet high. Six or seven kids could fit into it, safely protected during the non-stop snowball fights.
What weather!
