Well, we're finding the weathermen are very accurate with their predictions, as we check the thermometers and exclaim, "Yeah, it really IS 14 degrees!" So far we haven't had the heavy snow they're experiencing in the Portland area
- just a powder-sugar dusting that quickly melted. But we still have the rest of the week to go with additional predictions of snow and ice.
And even though it is 54 degrees in the sun this afternoon, I found out sadly that in the Northwest, poinsettias are indoor plants only. The beautiful poinsettia we bought yesterday froze outside within 6 hours and there is no rejuvenation. Of course it can't be inside, with my cats, who love plants! Speaking of the cats, they don't seem to mind the weather - as long as there is a ray of sun in which they can bask.
WHEREVER that ray may be.....
This just in - a beautiful view of Mt. St. Helens, taken by my sister on a wonderfully clear day with all the mountains visible. We have a great view of the mountain (though not as good as this) on our local road as we leave Clatskanie.
For all you jewelry lovers, I just finished custom making a great cabochon using a black and lavendar stone that the buyer purchased very inexpensively at one of our rock and gem shows. I'll try to get a picture of it......
More later..................
