I thought we lived in a RAINforest

Sledding is the new mode of travel in our neck of the woods. Tyler was invited to sleep over at a friend's house up the street last night and so Tyler's friends rode their sleds down the street to pick him up. It's how we get around anymore.

We've been pretty much iced in for a week now. Wasn't there some movie filmed in Oregon about some family that gets snowed in for about a week? Red Rum? Yeah, we're praying for a nice and rainy Christmas.

We're actually having fun with the snow too.

My favorite zen moment of the week occurred while zipping straight down the middle of our steep unplowed street, while sitting cross-legged on the circular disc you see below, with my hands on my knees in cupping shape.
