March 31 Spring Has Sprung...?Officially, the "first day of spring" was over a week ago, so Shawna and I weren't especially surprised when we woke up last Saturday to blue skies and sunny weather. We even decided to put on our walkin' shoes and stroll down to Subway for lunch a few miles down the road.
But as we wolfed our chipotle steak foot-long and headed back home, the skies grew dark and it began raining. Buckets. As we finally arrived back home and sloshed dejectedly up our driveway, the rain turned to snow and it didn't stop until Sunday afternoon.
The folks in Seattle say the snow didn't "stick", but up here on Redmond Ridge we were singing a different tune. I even shoveled my driveway. Check out the pic to see the tulips blooming sadly in the snow on March 30th... ten days into "spring".
Talk to you soon,

March 02 We ♥♥ SnowboardingThis year's snowboarding season started late, but once the fluff starting coming down it didn't let up. Record-breaking days were a dime a dozen, and closures due to too much snow were frequent -- I was even "trapped" at the summit for several hours one day because the DOT shut down the interstate for several hours of avalanche control (see pic).
Besides being a very fun season (so far... it ain't over yet!), this one will go down in history as the year Shawna really hit her "woo" on the snowboard: she's fast enough now to keep up with the guys, and I wish you could see the way she carves out those beautiful turns!
Although we've already started doing "summer-y" things like boating and taking long outdoor strolls, we're hoping for another month or two of boarding before we stash our snow gear and pull out the swimming suits. Keeping our fingers crossed...
Take care,
- Jas
