    My part of Oregon is getting a dose of winter this weekend. In fact the cold weather started over the course of last week. The pond in front of my apartment is iced over and even the hardiest of Canadian Geese have stopped flying over looking for a spot to land in. This morning the heron flew in and landed next to the water, hunkering down and looking to make sure it was really true there is no place to feed. Poor guy must be hungry.

    They say we'll have freezing rain in the next hour, its already up past Salem and headed our way.

    I'm just sitting here with my coffee watching my Saturday morning unfold.

    How are things in your neck of the woods this morning?

    It is now 16:15 in my neck of the woods. It has been cold but gloriously sunny today. It noe getting dark I spent the day indoors cilling out. I am so glad I don't have waste time door knocking anymore, wearing uncomfortable clothes and using my petrol un-necessarily.

    I must be somewhere around your neck of the woods, but all it is doing is slightly raining here. They cancelled my son's Santa breakfast at his school last night for nothing, it seems. I AM glad for all the cold weather to have left, and find it funny how warm it is supposed to be by the end of the week.

    thus far it is a pedestrian morning,
    now within striking distance of noon...

    warmed up to nearly 20° F after
    several days of sub zero or single
    digits following a major winter storm
    that dumped an official 17.5 inches...

    mostly "dug out" and just getting on
    with what winter brings... basically
    exponentially more difficult living,
    but after 20 years, one would think
    i had the hang of it.....

    finishing a discussion paper for one course
    and trying to get started on another.....

    gonna have that second cuppa
    just to finish the pot ....

    hope you get to hunker down for the icy conditions!

    ignore the taunts about field service! someone has to
    be home to answer their doors for the poor blighters
    out in the mess....

    oh wait! phone witnessing!!
