Oregon Gifts of Comfort and Joy: The Online Diary of a Central Oregon Grandmother

Welcome to the online diary of a Central Oregon Grandmother (me) who is busy celebrating the positive portions of her everyday life ... along with her best friend husband (Cary). It is quite an eclectic diary and I try to do my best to incorporate a little bit of history into many of my posts. Your visit to our piece of American Pie is greatly appreciated. This chatty Kathy posts frequently, so coming back to visit often is highly encouraged.

Cold and Clear: Monday's Snow Pictures

Yesterday was so beautiful and so cold. It was only 2* at 8:00 a.m. and only warmed up to 22*, as far as I could tell. The sky was blue and the air was dry ... and believe it or not, a sweatshirt was good enough for me to run around town in. (I did keep my coat in the car; I'm not silly!) I just thought that you might enjoy the few photos that I took:

I am entering this post into A Southern Daydreamer's Outdoor Wednesday. This is my first time; I just learned about it. When you are done here, please take a moment to go see some other beautiful photos.

Jessa said...: Very cool (pun intended)! These are wonderful photos. Up north of you a bit we have traces of snow on the ground, but nothing like this, although it has been below 32 for like a week now and the pond in my front yard is almost ready for skating on which is a first here.

Really love the close in shots of the evergreen needles.; January 4, 2011 at 12:56 PM
Oregon Gifts of Comfort and Joy said...: Hi Jessa Irene,

How are you? I'm going to head over and see in just a minute. I'm glad that you enjoyed these pics; it was such a beautiful day that day.

Ice skating in the front yard sounds like a great time! Maybe you'll get some more snow ... I like it much more than the rain we got when I was living in Eugene.

Take care,
