Last Post of the Year

Yesterday was the thirteenth snowiest December day in Spokane Weather History. The Weather Service said 7 1/2 inches fell but I measured eight here at the house.

Whatever the case may be, we are going out of the year with lots of snow on the ground.

I would like to thank and commend my lovely and sturdy wife for getting out there and shoveling the front walk and sidewalk. It was eight inches of wet, heavy snow that she shoveled by hand. Perhaps she forgot that we have a snow blower. When I got home from work and was ready to blow, half my work was done. 

We decided to take advantage of the snow and do something that neither Susan or I have done in at least 20 years. We built a snow thing out in the front yard. 

Because we are so Woke, we did not want to assign social constructs of gender to our snow creation. We decided to let it decide what it was going to be. It decided to be a cat.

It was really quite fun. It took us less than an hour and we have an authentic, non gender specific Snow Cat protecting our property. We're going to try taking more pictures tomorrow. The flash really lit up the cat and left us in the dark.

Nonetheless, a lovely and creative way to spend an hour. 

It's just after 5 and the first neighborhood firework and been lit.

Happy New Year!
