All that white stuff and it didn't stick!!!

Happy Thanksgiving to all of you! Last Tuesday I was home cooking our Thanksgiving since we both had to work on turkey day, and all day long it snowed.Sometimes hard, sometimes lightly but little soft flakes fell all day long. It made the roofs all white and the streets just barely covered in white and just enough at one point to make our back yard look like a winter wonderland. It was very nice while I was indoors not having to get out in it. I have to say I was worried about Wednesday morning when I would have to get up before the sun and drive to work. But it was dry and clear and you wouldn't have known it had snowed. There was no eve-idence of it anywhere.
I had made Cal take all of us (the dogs and I) down to the beach to get pictures of the snow there, but there wasn't enough there to get in the picture, just the arctic wind that they had been talking about. Needless to say we weren't out but a minute or two. Damn but it was cold!!!!! So, I have to say I really would not take up skiiing or snowboarding anytime soon. I really don't like the cold at all. I love to look at it from a warm dry place.
Cal and I had talked about going to Yellowstone in the winter. I thought that it would be beautiful to see with all the snow. Now, I am rethinking that idea. I think early fall would be nice. See the leaves change color? Don't you think? Me too! Much better plan! I will rent a film about it in the winter if I want to see all the snow.
Hmmmmmmmmm, perhaps this is a sign I am getting old and will not be willing to try all those things that in my youth I wanted to do? Has time finally caught up with me and I will not be willing to go an explore as much as I still want to? Nah! I won't run with the bulls in Spain, but who would be that stupid? No, I just won't climb K-2 or Everest or go to Machu Pichu. No, I will stick to Italy and New Orleans and places that are warmer climates. There is still a lot to see that I haven't and I can see them all when there isn't snow.
I am pretty sure of that now.
I will sit here and have a nice glass of wine, maybe a Frogs Tooth Temparnillo, or maybe a Willamette Valley Pinot, choices seem to be in my favor today.
Wishing you all a happy turkey day and that you are safe and warm as I toast you from the cold region of Oregon.
