With the snow having fallen all around and the ice covering everything only necessary travel has been done. Our clever city has decided that plowing and salting are not good things so we drove though ice and snow and ruts and lumps and said not nice things, especially considering the season. Eleven days of freezing temps and finally the rains have returned and we are once again above freezing. Not warm mind you - but above freezing.
A quiet and lovely Christmas was enjoyed here in Ballard. A nice brunch with all the family, driving home though the snow but before it really froze the streets again. Safe and sound. The littlest bug was the hit of the day of course and the center of attention.
Once again my car is at home, no more hiking up and down the hill on the ice. I promise to enjoy the week of rain that is coming.
