yesterday i wanted to share with you all that i'd seen a gent in shorts and sandals this morning walking his dog and point out that the temperature outside was a balmy 45*. at the time it seemed rather amusing, but has been rather preempted by today's weather: snow! great big fluffy clumps of it falling persistently out of the soft grey skies. it began around 10.30 this morning (it's now just about 3) and news of short trousered gents doesn't seem to measure up.

this morning at 10.30

this afternoon at around 2

such weather is rather condusive to indoor activities so i put together our advent wreath. we were traveling during the first Sunday of Advent and this is the first bit of free time that i've had since we got back. pictures of our Thanksgiving adventures are up here.


i think that it came out rather nicely. since i work through the supper hours we'll just have to say our Advent prayers after i get home...

The shorts, the 45-degree, and the snow doesn't strike me as all that extraordinary once you've been up here for a while. It's easy to tell who the misplaced kamaaina are--they're the one padding around the house in shorts and tee-shirts in the middle of winter and making a mad dash from the front door out to the mailbox and back in 20-degree weather 'cuz they figure it's too much humbug to get dressed up again just to go get the mail. :0)
