Yippee

Gaia smiles upon Seattle today. All those sacrifices I made and buried in the back garden paid off! It's almost...warm. if you stand in the sun and out of the wind.
Beloved spouse and I went out on an urban walk, down our hill to Fremont, up the backside of Queen Anne Hill, a steep haul, then meandered about as he took photos with his new digital camera. There are views of all the mountains around here from all compass points up on that hill, and they all look nicely snowy.
Beloved son went into the Cascade foothills to climb, and encountered chilly winds. His friend, the one with the darling chihuahuas I have ministered to, took the dogs, and they all froze their asses off. One must suffer for one's passion.
Vegetarian pizza for dinner, mostly on account of the roasted garlic cloves and artichoke hearts sprinkled liberally about, as well as the dollops of goat cheese. Not my own, it was take out, but some day I'll make one just like it.
Excellent day, all round.
