chinook winds

A Chinook wind blew into our neck of the woods last night and we woke up this morning to find that most of our snow is now gone.  I'm sad about the snow, but I love the feeling of the warm wind on my face and the sound of it blowing through the trees.  Riggs enjoyed crawling around on the dry, snow-free porch and sat there for quite some time watching Tutka and I out in the yard.

I made some cocoa from scratch to warm up with when we came inside.  How do you get outside and stay positive even when the weather isn't optimal?

Week in Review

It's Sunday again, hope everyone had a good first week of March!

Scariest moment of my week:  being blown sideways across the icy sidewalk towards traffic while riding my bike home from work Friday.   Good news?  I didn't get blown into traffic by the huge gust of wind.  Bad news?  I had to purposefully fall to keep from sliding across the sidewalk into oncoming traffic, and tore a few holes in my favorite swix pants.  But still, at least I'm not dead :)
