Winter found us.  It is a little bit early, IMO…

There was a lot of snow.  John got Stewart cleared out enough for him to get to work, and then John worked at it about an hour longer before he left for work.

What keeps me from lamenting too strenuously, however, is that Camp Fire is ravaging Northern California.  Snow seems docile in comparison to the beast that is consuming that area.  I stayed properly chastened, and just made more coffee.

Though our schooling is lighter on Friday, the days themselves get sort of wild.  It was late in the afternoon before the kids finally had a chance to get outside. 

We are woefully lacking in proper snow gear, but we pieced together enough to get the four girls outside for a while.

Marie and Johanna made this pair.

I actually like them.

We got the second of our two trees up.  The trees look a little sketchy this year.  But it fits.  I feel discombobulated these days.
