First Day of Winter

Snow continues.  Raffle gets a lift.  Everybody is happy!

The first day of winter brought the 2nd consecutive day of 6+ inches of snow falling in our neighborhood.  This is definitely the whitest week I’ve seen since I moved to Seattle in 1979.  Raffle (the Snow Queen) was born in northern Alberta in December, and so she only knew snow for the first five months of her life.  The snow in the backyard finally got too deep for her, so we cut channels so she wouldn’t vanish in a drift.
