LA NINA

So happy that I got out into the backyard when I did. I thought to myself..... either clean up the backyard of all the dead plants when it is freeze your ass off cold and dry in the Fall or cut back the dead plants when the weather is still freeze your nunnies off cold and wet in the Spring. I chose to do it in the Fall.

Our nice weather is gone till next year. The weatherman says that starting yesterday, it was the first day of La Nina and I so do believe him. It was really windy and cold and rainy. Mimi says that it was so cold and rainy that the kids had to stay inside all day. Unlike California, the kids up here will play in the rain if it is not too bad. They do have the choice also to stay inside. But yesterday they all had to stay inside.

La Nina also left a whole bunch of tree branches in our backyard. We have beautiful trees but oh you should see all of the pine needles that fell off.

Weatherman says that we got 2 feet of snow up in the passes of Snoqualmie, Crystal and more than 2 feet of snow up at Stevens Pass.

This is why I am starting to stock up on our winter provisions. Not sure how much snow we will get down here in the lowlands. If it is anything like a couple of years ago, I want to be ready.
