Ice Storm 2021

 The adventures continue! The year 2021 is apparently trying to compete with 2020 and getting a head start. Yesterday (Saturday) morning we found our surroundings covered in a thick layer of ice. Throughout the night we had heard crashing branches falling and indeed, the sight the next morning was stunning:

Streets have been blocked by large fallen branches, houses and cars damaged, more than 3000 households in Wilsonville are without power and after more ice by Sunday morning, we now have a warning for even more ice later today...all while still in the pandemic!

2021: Happy New Year!

 We finally made it through 2020 and are hopeful that 2021 will be a happier year!

Christmas was spent in isolation, of course, which gave us the opportunity to relax & recharge through lot's of walking, cooking and playing.

More photos

Alright, since Jan just wrote an update, I guess it's time for me as well. So here you go, a lot of photos from our time in isolation:

On the plus side, there were lots of snuggles and cuddles - the furries approve of us being home All. The. Time.  :)

We did have some nice weather over the summer, which we used for long walks in the neighborhood and the occasional trip to the coast.

Mask up, everyone!

We saw comet Neowise:

And the wildfires happened... turning the days dark and eerie:

And then fall snuck up on us with all its glory (that is, before the rain started :)).

Happy Halloween!

And with the colder and darker weather now upon us, it's time to snuggle up inside,

sometimes refuse to walk (because it's too dark, cold, and wet!), 

and to turn on the lights.
