Snow fallen on cedars (Post #200)

I have left home twice in the past month, and both times it snowed while I was gone. This wouldn't be anything special to most people, but it snows so rarely here - it's been 2 years! - that I didn't want to miss it! So as soon as we arrived home from Seattle, I pulled on my boots and took to the woods (also I had just had my second pastry of the day and was running on a sugar buzz).

Merry Christmas to Us...

M and I have really hard times shopping for each other. We both work full time, share expenses, and have no debt. If one of us needs something, we shop, find a deal, and buy it for ourselves. When we find something cool for the other person, we don't have to wait for an "occasion" to give it as a gift. So this year, we asked for memories from each other. This is what we decided on: a weekend in Seattle.

the Obligatory Quebec post

It's that time of year again, and I am back in Quebec! The sun sets so early right now that I have hardly seen Quebec in the daylight, but with the current dusting of snow, the city is beautifully frosted in the Christmas lights.
