Yes, let it snow! ❄️😁❄️ We had another frosty morning today. Everything so pretty and white. We don’t have rain in the forecast until later this week. That’s just the way it happens here. If the clouds roll back in and it’s winter, 99 times out of 100, the clouds will warm us up. That’s why it doesn’t snow much here. If the clouds clear out and we get crystal blue sky, 80% of the time it will be extra cold...colder than normal, and it will last as long as the clouds stay away. I have the Pacific Ocean to thank for getting little snow, but I don’t feel like thanking it. I thank it in the summertime when it brings winds on hot days, but only if they’re cool winds. It has a lot to do with keeping our weather mild in western Oregon. So do the Cascade Mountains. Now, if I lived east of the mountains, I could count on snow every year and super cold temps. That’s only a 3 hours drive from me. Guess which side of the mountains I’d like to live on when my hubby retires?!? 🤔😋 That is a lot of layers your hubby was wearing to still be so cold. I have been in that kind of cold a few times, and it takes my breath away and instantly gives me pain. I love the idea of getting snowflake window decals so I can see it snowing! I had some for my classroom, but I gave most of my supplies away to my teacher friends when I had to quit teaching. My twin is a genius because I never thought of getting some for my home! 🤓

We chose and cut down our own tree. We took a tractor ride out to where the trees grown on their farm. They have cute trailers hooked up to the tractor that people can have a seat in. One of the trailers hold the trees that were cut when we ride the tractor back to the parking lot. Yesterday a young cow was frolicking beside us as the tractor drove by its pasture. It was so cute! 🐄 Sometime I think having a tree in a box would be an easier way to go, but I’d miss the wonderful pine scent. Besides that, our sons would let me have it if I changed our tradition of getting our tree!

Sorry the majority of the flakes missed you! 😋❄️🎄
