Sometimes things just don't go as planned....I need to get more structured in my bloggy posts but oh well...well here it is...almost a month from the sunny Mexico trip to the first falling of flakes for the season...hum...so much for global warming cuz it is only December and we are getting snow...we have gotten more snow in the last two years than we have gotten in the 18 years we have lived in Washington :) I had heard it was supposed to be a dry winter which to me meant no snow fall like we had last year that was on the ground for over three weeks...that is really abnormal for where we are...we can get snow but it falls and then disappears quickly...last year there was tons on the ground for quite a while...last night we got about an inch where we are...more in other parts of the city...but even an inch in enough for the dogs to get a really big kick out of playing in it

Ok...on to pictures...my there are lots today :)

Even before the snow we had gotten record breaking cold temps...enough to freeze the dog's outside water....they have a couple of water buckets outside...Pippin knocked over one of the ice sculptures and Dave put the other water bucket's ice on top of the knocked over one and then snow fell on top of the heap making an ice sculpture...wonder how long it will be before the entire thing melts?
