Snow Seattle Style

It has been snowing in Seattle and Seattle-ites do not deal well with snow! I know that you "snow people" will laugh at us, but the roads are really icy! Today I finally ventured out and Beauty loves it. Thankfully our favorite French bakery was open so I was able to get some coffee and a pan a chocolat. Yummm!  Here's a video of Beauty playing in the snow.  She was being much cuter before, but as soon as I pull out the camera she gets shy :)

Autumn in July

Monday morning Gessner and I were talking Beauty near Ballard High when I noticed that distinctive smell of fall and then heard the crushing of dry leaves beneath my feet. How could it be--it is only July right? I haven't missed the entire summer have I? Nope, it is in fact July, yet the trees at Ballard High are shedding their brown leaves. WTF?!
