the scoop

We woke up to a dusting of snow so I went out to get some pictures. Before the day was done we had a record amount for the day in the valley. About four inches. To me this is nothing. I’m used to at least four feet of snow at our mountain home. We have a good foot there now. But the little bit we have here in the valley gave me the excuse to put on cute warm boots and a fur collared down jacket. I was toasty warm!

They are so unprepared for snow here in the valley that they don’t even bother plowing the side streets so a lot of people are just stuck until it melts. We had our four wheel drive truck so we hopped in and went to the Boise Co-Op to pick up fancy kimchi and then on to Costco to shop. So all was not lost.

The biggest scoop of all today is that my son’s first book was just published.

my look

I’m wearing Sorel, Joan Of Arctic boots and a faux fur trim hooded down jacket over jeans and a pretty cranberry colored sweater. Everything is old but timeless. And everything keeps me warm when it feels like I live in a frozen tundra.
