You know it's officially winter here in northern Mexico, when I pull on my long pants and fleece-lined slippers, and make a big pot of soup. It must have gotten down to the mid-sixties today. Brrrrrrr. But then there's the ironically-named Aloha, Oregon, near Mt. Hood, where my friend Sue lives. She sent me this color photo but I guess the grey skies froze all the colors out of it. A fellow blogger referred to that stuff on the trees as "white crap," and although it's picturesque, it would take a lot hardier soul than I to live in it. Aloha, indeed!
So you won't hear me complaining. I'll just whip up another cup of hot cocoa.
Throw another log on the fire and have a happy birthday, Sue!
