An evil snow plow came by earlier today and dropped sand. The local kids were not impressed.

30 minutes later, more snow covered the freshly dropped sand making the road good for sledding again.

Even with sand, [people still have problems getting up even the smallest of hills].

In the interest of having fun, [Linae and I sled down the steepest hill on our road.]

What do you suppose a truck load of snow is going for on Craig’s List?

It’s been snowing two days straight. And now it’s starting to pile up!

It’s been cold out, but today Winter officially begins now that the snow has arrived.

We were at Grandma Dinwiddie’s 90th birthday in Arlington when the hill over yonder went up in flames in couple minutes. Lots of fires this season and I didn’t see any lighting.

This is footage taken from the Evergreen State Fair hosted in Monroe, Washington on the night of August 26th, 2006. Viewer disgression is advised. More bugs than you could possibly imagine.

Linae and I had a good time doing the scavenger hunt that we picked up at the gate. We found all the items except for two that were closed.

Linae and I for another ride on the Old Pipeline Road. This is the view looking down the hill toward our house.

Local small animals and birds look out! Tiggy is on the prowl.

Our summer apples are almost ready for picking.

A heat wave swept thru the Monroe area. Temperatures are in the upper 90s. This all after it had rained every day since the fourth of July.

I always thought an observation deck on a house like this could be great for star gazing. I wonder how much the add-on would cost?

Linae and I went riding in Monroe way out to the Salem Elementary School in Monroe. Today was the 7th day of sunshine in a row. This weather is uncharacteristic for the Seattle area. The 4th of July holiday has rained every year as long as I can remember. We’ll see if the sunshine can break our wet streak. (Nope…July 4th, cloudy morning, sunny afternoon, rainstorm for the evening. It poured!)

Nearby Mountain tops:

Oddly, it snowed again today.

Here’s a midair shot of me doing a forward flip on this nice night. Start the weekend of fun!

You’ll notice I’ve raised the legs above the safety height, with “couplers”. Without jumping, I stand 10 feet tall.

I was thinking, if you must build a fence then you might as well build it will style.

The sky looked particularly interesting last night.

Tonight it starts snowing and there are no clouds in the sky. Totally clear, lots of stars, really cold, and falling snow… How does that work? Has weather been upgraded recently?

Just when you think Winter is almost over:

We had a great time this year hanging out with the family. See the [Photos].

We got the first snow fall of this winter. Hopefully this year makes up for the past few.

This is Piper. Our newest cat showed up a little more than a month ago — and we had to take it in.

It was a nice day to relax: (TicToc)

But then we were ambushed: (by Pellet Storm)

Ready for attack: (Adventurous)

How does bunny taste: (Tiggy)

Here is the definitive reason why I don’t like Rubarb. Not just because I don’t like the taste, but because as it grows it looks like slug bait!

The sludging epic continues… Looks like brains!
