Snow in Oregon: Walk with the parents and puppies

always so reluctant...
she wants to stay with mama!
don't worry,
I didn't drag her

Snow In Oregon: Now the parents are awake...

the bay, the deck, the snow

Oregon Snow: The Beach

Oregon Snow: Snow Tires

Oregon Snow: Car Ride to the Beach

HOME IN OREGON!!!

some scenes on our way to the beach

almost there

officially less than two weeks to go. 

what?! wait wait wait. nooo. how??

I have hardly eaten enough fruit this season! There are more shiny-sweet cherries, juicy cantaloupes, fragrant white nectarines and succulent figs for me to enjoy!

I kind of like this summer thing. you know, peace, sun, family, relaxation, ridiculousness. well, ridikulousnezz is always going on in alex-land. Should I really be released upon another country?

 case in point: 

I power-washed WU this summer. 

I know. I'm quite the lucky duck(ling).

I don't own that outfit. my mom does. in fact, it was a gift. that she requested. along with a super-intense power-washer. from my father. living the life...

make sure that you see the rolled-up sleeves, gloves, goggles (!)...

what you can't see: rainboots, two pairs of gloves on underneath the waterproof gloves, a hooded shirt to keep my hair muck-free and an incredibly stylish, jealousy-inducing surfing hat that straps on. obviously my eyes are closed despite the fact that it wasn't sunny and there wasn't a flash.

  bonus.

But I have been lucky enough to take some time to practice french (and the art of relaxing) at this beautiful spot:

first view of the pacific on the trail
