Snow Zoomies

This week it snowed.

And it wasn’t the skiff and gone variety we experienced all December.

Night drive in a snow storm

In fact, it was a blizzard-closing passes and white-out conditions on the roads kind of snow..

In the midst of this, we made a trip to the dentist, necessary, though the drive was nearly as painful as the appointment.

Winter fishing on the Crooked River

Before the recent snows, right up to New Year’s Day,  we enjoyed mild, if a bit rainy weather.

There was a trip to the Crooked River and our traditional New Year’s toast.

The past few weeks have been busy with a smattering of projects. We made thumbprint cookies with our homemade jam.

Tried a new ramen soup recipe  . . .  it was easy and very tasty.

We broke in a new fondue pot with a cheese fondue. Then enjoyed an oil fondue. We’ve yet to try the chocolate version.

Exhibit features images and video of wolves in the Greater Yellowstone ecosystem and on Ellesmere Island in the high Canadian Arctic.

We also took in a National Geographic Photo exhibit at the High Desert Museum.

Documenting current as well as historic views on Yellowstone National Park and Yukon wolf packs.

NatGeo Images by R. Donovan. This was a favorite.

Excellent images and fascinating information.

We get passes from our library and try to get over to the museum a couple of time a year . . .  this was one of the best exhibits in a while.

The snows continue throughout the second week in January and we’ve accumulated about 3 feet on the ground (2 feet within the last 24 hours) and more is on the way.

We actually enjoy having four seasons. This snow is less than years past and I don’t mind the daily task of clearing snow.

It’s better than constant rain.

We’re back with weekly updates to our adventures, though not sure what is planned for the coming days.

A lot depends on the weather.

There will be good pictures, that I can assure you  . . . so come back every Sunday for a new installment.
