WINDY


Who's creep'in down the streets of city? Everyone knows it's Windy. The weatherman said that we are in for a wind/rainstorm today and boy was he right! The winds are really starting to kick up already.
This picture was taken about an hour ago when it was just a little windy. The majority of the leaves had just fallen this morning.
The other day, mama was talking to her best friend Auntie Sandra from back home in Calif. She gave mama a good idea for Mimi's upcoming Halloween party that mama and papa are hosting for her and her new friends this year.
Since it is freeze your tuckus off cold up here at night, Auntie Sandra suggested making hot apple cider for the kiddies and having Whiskey (or Brandy in my case)on the side to go along with the hot apple cider for the mama's and the papa's. YUMMY!!!
So before the winds started to kick in, mama and Mimi took a short drive to Enumclaw's Country Farmers Market. It's just a small red barn converted into a small farmers market. There all of the produce, jams and jellies come from the local farms. The produce there are out of this world. This past summer they had corn 4 for $1.00. Mama bought 8 and gave 4 to grandma and grandpa. It was soooooo good!!! Mimi loves corn.
While there, mama was able to purchase the fresh pressed apple cider for the party. I also bought a small bottle to sample before giving it to our new friends. It is Yummmmy!!!
Afterward, we went to the Safeway for the spices. While there, a voice came over the intercom for the shoppers to hurry and get their groceries before the power goes out due to the upcoming windstorm. YIKES!
Mama and Mimi ski-daddled as fast as they could. As soon as we got home, mama hooked up the generator. She hates to get caught with her pants down. Mama likes to be ready for any emergency.
