The trouble with....

I had been able to post comments to some you and not to others..Go figure! And I assure you all that I have read everyone and would/did try to post, but alas I was kicked around like a soccer ball.

I had been up at 3 am and got a half cup of coffee thinking I'd take it to back to bed, take a few sips and return to sleep. Yah, right. Whom am I kidding...I have work to do like wait a few minutes and wake Rocky so he can wake the rest of the world...And then there is the issue of other chores that since cleaning like a lunatic went to the wayside.

It is GREY, every shade of it, the winds will start again and the fact that I may again be out of power looms like a repeat week a few weeks ago why is it that the Pacific Northwest has such ranges of grey? It does not complement any other color out there, trust me. I have tried to find the beauty in it, and I struggle to find even one at this point. The 9 months of grey is starting to make me a little bonkers. I am thinking that is why so many people here enjoy the black and white photography....Why prove that it is grey, when you can make grey lemonade?

I am feeling bad for Inkling getting her first dose of this and the tiredness that comes with it every year. It really is very wonderful here when the blue skies and sun reappear for the few months that they do. But this farm fairy can take no more and we look forward to returning to the East side of the state next spring.

Maybe I should change the saying....
It is something to think about but nothing to worry about....

to: it is something to think about but not something to snivel about.

Inkling please get your flashlight ready...The news is NOT GOOD...The storm coming is HUGE and it is starting at your place. You two take care okay? We worry about you always!

Be well and do not worry if you do not here from us...Ang & I will be fine...But we know that the power will not be consistent for the moment. Ang will have power before I do and as always she /we will keep you all updated the best we can.

I have to admit I would love to be in Ocean Shores watching the waves that are to be 38 feet!!! This storm is to be one of the worst in years!

The mountain passes are to have up to 2 feet of snow..And then Friday the snow level will be 500 feet. My oh my it sounds wild.

Keep warm, be safe and take it easy.

I tried to get a hold of Inkling for about 2 hours last night - line busy. I hope I get to talk to her today before the power goes out on them.

Be safe out there, we'll be prayin' hard. I have to admit, I love a good storm. When we lived in AL, the hurricanes were actually exciting - especially if no one got hurt!! I know, I'm crazy!! Ever since I was a kid, when the wind kicked up and lightening started I got this wierd adrenalline rush!!

Anyway, be safe!! love and hugs, Grace

Grace sounds like a hurricane chaser for the weather channel..HA HA just kidding.

Cheer up mate! We could adopt Inkling saying for Canadian Seasons and adopt it for our state.."There's winter and August"

I love you. Batten down the barn doors.
