Grandma's crocheting

Grandma's just finished making the girls sweaters. The colors she chose look so good on them both and they get so many compliments whenever they wear them.

Freezing Fog

After several days of beautiful, spring-like weather, we awoke to a chilly morning with white trees due to "freezing fog." Up close everything looks feathered with ice. It's quite pretty.

Molly

I was asked if we love poor little Molly as there is not a picture of her anywhere. Anyone who knows Molly knows that she doesn't lack attention. She turned 3 on December 15th and remains quite the character. She charms everyone she meets and takes a particular interest in Marc's single friends (yes, we're worried already).

A room with a view

We moved to "the woods" outside Bend in November and enjoy our new surroundings every day. The deer have found the food we put out for the birds and visit every day. We also have several very plump gray squirrels and tons of chickadees that come. We hear coyotes but have yet to see them. Matisse is not looking forward to a rematch with the coyotes that left him scarred in L.A. and refuses to even step foot outside. The girls love hiking to the Butte behind our house as do we.

Wind in the woods

We experienced our first Deschutes River Woods windstorm yesterday and watched as not one, but two, trees fell on our neighbor's truck.
