Chiaroscuro: A Winter's Sketch
Morning is breaking over the trees, my balcony has an inch of fresh snow on the railing, some on the table where I set my plants, that is now bare. I brought in the rosemary plant; it had snow on the pot. I took it into the bathroom and ran warm water over it to melt it off, and put it in the...

Bloggers In Snowy States, What Should We Pack In An Emergency Kit?
It dawned on me watching the news and listening to my boyfriend's report of cars abandoned on the side of the freeway that probably 90% of the problem Seattle drivers are having with the recent snow is being mentally unprepapred. People in Wisconsin, Michigan, New York, Minnesota, Canada, etc. and...

Seattle Is Looking Icy, The Freeway Is A Mess

The news is showing cars being abandoned, about 15 or 20, cars spinning out. According to Weatherreport.com, it will be down to 21 F by Tuesday night. I...

Winter Wonderland: A Mystical, Magical Snowy Night In West Seattle
It's a mystical, magical kind of feeling on the street tonight, as the snow flurries limn the trees, and fall on my face. I walked up, about a mile, in my best "applying for a job" uniform: skirt and sweater and tights, to the custom-order furniture gallery at the Junction. I kept a wary eye on the...

Paperback Writer
I'm off to go apply for a furniture sales job at a small, handmade furniture store. I'd like to get more experience with that, so that between Professor Peabody, who already works in home design for a high-end furniture center, we can combine incomes. It's time for me to get back to part-time work...

Much Ado About Nothing: Seattle Gets A Few Flakes And Shuts Down
I brought my last plant indoors last night, the potted rosemary, it looked so sad with the light dusting of snow in the pot. The winds off the water from the west are icy today. There's not much snow left here in West Seattle, just a light dust on the roofs across the alley. It's funny to hear the...

I'm Going To Go Take A Walk In The Snow
I've been cleaning house, found a box of my old poetry, photos, journals and clippings from about 8th and 9th grade. I'm setting it all aside, along with the clippings my Mom just sent me from when she just cleaned out her garage to put together a family scrapbook. I've gotten the holiday...

Oh, The Irony
The light frosting of snow on the cars in the parking lot this morning has quickly turned to freezing rain, which of course, means ice tonight, what I worry most about on MG's drive home from work. Luckily, he doesn't have too far to go and the Bronco has four-wheel drive. He's also from Kansas,...

Oh, No, It SNOWED..In SEATTLE.
I had no idea that was coming! I just opened the blinds and there is SNOW on the cars. Okay, laugh at us, Wisconsin, Michigan, New York, cause you know what this means? If it continues tomorrow, even a few flakes, school will be shut down, everyone will call in and take a day off work, (because they...
