Views of Sequim, the Olympic Peninsula. . .and beyond
I’m back home now after visiting family for the holiday. On our trip there, we stopped in Brinnon to see that waterfall that I posted about last month. What a difference a month and some freezing weather can make. Sequim was almost all thawed out when we got back.
Making his way on the icy pond.
Today and tomorrow I’ll put up a couple leftover pictures that I took before heading out of town for the holiday.
The “Giving” got buried in the snow. To all who celebrate today, I hope you have a Happy Thanksgiving.
(If all went well with travel, I should be out of town with family when this posts.)
The sun came out yesterday for a gorgeous (but cold!) day in Sequim after the snow. When we drove down by the water last night, there was a purple glow in the sky and on the water and it was really pretty. Everything is still frozen here.
The first picture is yesterday afternoon when it was just whipping around outside and coming down hard. The second picture I took when we pulled over last night in town to tighten our chains and I noticed a shop with a sign that said Artisans Creative Consignment opening November 23rd. Rough day to open if you do, so good luck with that!
Three things struck me the most last night when driving in this weather. First, (taming down how I really think it in my head) people need to learn how to drive in the snow. There is no hurry and it’s not worth the risk. Second, kudos to the mail people for making it through. We saw our mailman pulled over getting a new bundle of mail and the snow was just whipping his face. Third, people who have animals without a place for shelter in this weather are not people I can understand or relate to.
The first picture was taken by Norma (Lavender Lady who ran the site before) of her cat looking out at the snow. The second is of my dogs doing the same during a quick play session outside.
