Baking Day...5º--Sunny

Good nights sleep last night, a full 8 hours!...That means I should be up and raring to go but first I have to drink my coffee and get that caffeine fix and write this silly blog...I've started on the 3rd year of writing almost daily and find it fun to go back and see what we were doing on any given day and maybe even get a report on the weather...Following is the first post and the post exactly 2 years ago today.
January 6 2011...It is too early to see the mountains, but soon the sun will rise and cast shadows on the west mountains. In this way it is my treat to watch a sunrise not only in the east but also in the west.  Shadows of purple and pink with the snow glistening in the sunlight, as the light rays moves slowly across until they fade into the distance.  They are covered in snow, cold, luminous, silent.  Mountains so tall they take your breath away.  I love the mountains in this valley where my home has been for nearly 40 years.
 
January 17 2011... We had one of our wind storms overnight, it started about 7pm and continued off and on all night.  At times it sounded like a freight train was coming through the bedroom.  The snow and ice is almost gone and the deck is totally dry this morning. The wind continues to blow.  We have had many of these windstorms over the years, this one being mild in comparison, or maybe it is just because everything that could blow away has done so.  The local rivers are at flood stage and more rain is in the forecast.
Enough reminiscing...I did make cinnamon rolls yesterday and even remembered to take photos...Hugs to All....OWAV:)
