Before the snows we planted some old seeds in our enormous window box after our snap-peas and cilantro dried out. The seeds were a momento from Colin and Emily's wedding two years ago. But look at the blue flowers we fooled into blooming in November! Lovely.

We spent the Thanksgiving weekend with some friends up in the San Juan Islands. There was a big snowstorm on the last day of our trip. We went down to the ocean shore and stood in the wind with snow whipping our faces. It was like being home on the rock beaches of Lake Superior. The cold froze our camera.

Lopez Island's Whatmouth Bay before the storm hit.
