Island Snow

We have been hit by an unusual snow-storm that has snuck in over the Olympic Mountains. We are not used to this type of weather. Our winter weather mostly consists of a slow drizzle of rain and fog with moderate temperatures. Where is our green lawn???

Lauren is enjoying the magical winter wonder-land. And the snow-suit that Grandmama bought her in Finland last December is coming in handy. Never mind that they did NOT have any snow in Finland for Christmas last year!

Exploring the snowy forest wilderness (although it is really just our back yard... you can see the house in the background...).

Lauren loves humming birds and feeds them all summer. Last year we had a pair of Annas Humming Birds that stayed over winter with us rather than migrating south. This year we have a whole colony of them, snow or not.
