there is a tree that grows only in this particular area of the wrold called the madrona tree. it is diciduous but dowes not lose its leave inthe fall, instedad it losed its bark. it has to grow withng a realative short distance of the oceaean. to get the salt air afterr the bark fals off the wod is abright red and is every pretty in contrast to the green cedar d treees growing next to it.
the night before last, saturday night it began and al day yesterrday it snowned and snowed and snowed . there looks tobe over a fooot on the gond. we a were thingking of going up to vancouver and victoria but i think willl stay put until some of the roads ae cleared. they don't usually get this much snow., the old guy who runs the trailer park sid they havn't had this mudhc in 30 years. so it is a big deal. the schools are closed .so we got the movie snow falling on cedars yesterday which took place on an island in the bellingham area of puget sound. today looks like a dauy of shoveling out and hanging around. this morning it is 27 degrees out. which is very cold out for here. as i look outside i see two ladies from california in ther pajamas tring to get their water thawed out in their camper.
