A White Christmas!!!!

It snowed on Christmas! While some of you are rolling your eyes as you think of the snow shoveling that you still have to do this afternoon, we are ecstatic. See, in Seattle there are only 5 Christmases since 1909 where there has been snowfall on December 25th. Mind you, this is lowland Puget Sound snow - heavy, wet sloppy snow that melts on contact with the ground - but it is snow nonetheless and we aren't going to complain. If you squint your eyes and look up at the sky you can almost pretend that you aren't standing in the soggy patch of green moss you call a lawn, but are instead in a beautiful winter wonderland.

In fact we may walk down to the Puget Sound when I finish here to enjoy snow on the beach of Dash Point State Park. On the way we can waymark the local waste treatment plant that sits in an idyllic little forested spot on the way to the park. What could be more "Christmasy" than waymarking a waste treatment plant I ask you? I'm always looking for a chance to grab a new icon. ;)

Merry Christmas and happy waymarking!

Holiday Interference

The holidays and my new stint as a rescue dog foster parent is definitely cutting into my waymarking time lately. It seems like I just get ready to sit down and post a waymark when the puppy needs to go out, or the dogs start to fight over a toy, or I remember that I still have shopping to do. It took me two full weeks to post the waymarks from my day and a half in Vancouver and typically I would have had those done pronto. Oh well. I'm having fun with our foster puppy, even if that means I won't be posting into some of those new categories anytime soon.

Have a happy holiday season everyone. It's been a wonderful year getting to know all of you waymarkers out there.
