Icicles & Craftvent Day 19
The fire of purpose easily melts the icicles of obstacles. ~ Alan Cohen Yesterday, a winter storm moved through the PNW. It dumped large amounts of snow and left us with below freezing temperatures.

Flying Solo
Baseball is like driving, it's the one who gets home safely that counts. ~ Tommy Lasorda It was a cold, clear and sunny day in the PNW. There were gorgeous views of the mountain.
