Hunkering Down

I just love the seasonal changes in Oregon. And all of them can happen in one day! You can wake up to sunshine and have hail by mid-day. You can have dreary rain all day and enjoy a gorgeous sunset. And every year we get at least one decent snowfall. It's lovely to look out on the blanket shrouding the world. But the nice thing is, it usually doesn't last long or cause too much inconvenience — just one or two snow days for the kids. Valentine's Day brought us a winter wonderland this year.
