Because I skipped the gym after work yesterday, I caught the tail end of the most excitement my neighborhood has seen as long as I’ve lived here (and frankly, hopefully longer). Why yes, that is an idling, yet empty cop car blocking the entrance to my driveway. (With his buddy doing the same to […]

The snowbanks are shrinking! It’s still a little depressing in the back yard, but it’s getting better. I can actually see bare ground back there now. Heck, if you look really, really carefully below, you can see the composter sticking out of the large front snow bank. (You can totally
So, let’s add to the last entry: 2015-02-12: 1.32015-02-14: 1.92015-02-15: 0.42015-02-18: 0.42015-02-19: 5.82015-02-21: 1.42015-02-22: 0.1 (data ends here for now) It’s stopped being funny. Granted, last Sunday was supposed to be a blizzard, and wasn’t. (Hilariously, York County got 18 inches and we got about five – my kind of cutoff line), but

Oh, and we’ve got another 14 to 20 bearing down on us tonight. So, that’s 50.5 inches and
Unlike the Blizzard of 2013, the Blizzard of 2015 didn’t happen on a weekend, and didn’t happen overnight so that we woke up to a perfectly sunny, photogenic winter wonderland waiting to be photographed before we cleaned it up. While we did get less snow (24 inches vs 31), I liked this one less. 1.

So we had a nor’easter Wednesday night into very early Thursday morning. Really heavy, wet stuff. So pretty much anything that still had leaves was broken, or flattened. (Like our neighbor’s front yard hedges. I’ve never seen anything like that over there before.) So I am thankful that we had power for this year’s low

Yesterday was the kind of crazy beautiful Fall day that makes this my favorite season. It was really warm (record breaking in Portland, in fact), which was a slightly strange juxtaposition with the leaves that have started to turn. Still, I’ll take it when I can get it.

My sister and her BF were in from California last week, and since he’s a native Southern Californian, we had to bring him apple picking. I did get some regular old apples, but my big haul were some lovely, bright red crab apples, with which I will be making jelly at some point during the
