Beautiful morning of snow

We had just enough to make the entire city come to a standstill. A full 3inches!

I kinda like the way we react to snow in Portland. I enjoy watching the news-peeps stand at the highest hill and relay to the viewers that it really is indeed...snow. Each station tries to come up with a catchy name of this storm.

In honor of the IFC Channel hit TV show, Portlandia.

This is my pick....

A Rose is a rose....

"If I had a rose for every time I thought of you, I'd be picking roses for a lifetime."
                                             -an old Swedish Proverb

You are beautiful, but you are empty. One could not die for you. To be sure, an ordinary passerby would think that my rose looked just like you - the rose that belongs to me. But in herself alone she is more important than all the hundreds of you other roses because it is she that I have watered.

A winter walk

I went for a lovely little stroll today with Mr. Eiffel....

We walked around this darling little pond and fed the ducks....

climbed a tree and watched a flock of geese soar high above...

we sat and watched the world go by....
