Purple in Portland

Went up to visit Travis, Kim and Jordan yesterday; snowed a bit but didn't stick.  Had a good time catching up, eating and playing with the animals.  Teri knitted a hat for Nina on the drive, then added the ball on top when we got back.  Nina appears to be partial to purple as she sure liked grandma's choice of yarn.


Ready for the walk to market
Was brisk here today; headed for a high of 30 tomorrow, with a good chance of one of Portland's ice storms.  Oh joy!  Looking for inside projects.

Stay warm!
