Storm

On Tuesday night we were warned a storm, with high winds, was headed our way. Just as it got dark snow started to fall. We had accumulated several inches by bedtime. Around 6:30 am the wind started to howl and then a few minutes later the power went off. We were warm under our quilt so stayed in bed watching the storm through our wonderful bedroom windows until we were hungry and needed to start our day.

We have a propane heat stove and a propane cook stove so we were able to get warm and to eat. Here is Buck, notice his hat..before it was warm, trying to make coffee without electricity. He poured hot water into the electric pot and voila..coffee!

It was a crazy weather day. It was dark and cloudy and then the sun came out..minutes later it was dark again. Then more sunshine.

Here is the ocean in the morning sun.

See the stormy coming towards us again?

We bundled up and went to the beach during a sunny spell.

The surf was beautiful and almost worthy of being compared to a Hawaiian surf.

More waves.

Looking back at the house, the snow makes it easier to see the path.

Beautiful driftwood on the beach.

We found a piece we couldn't resist. Buck hauled it up the path.

Here is our treasure in the rock bed in front of our bedroom.

The thermometer at day's end shows we have a heat wave! Well, sort of:>

The clouds and mountains at the end of a very unusual day. (Power came on around 1:30.)
