Before and during storm
Main Street Holiday Decorations - Friday, when skies were blue, and Saturday morning, at the beginning of our first snow storm of the season. We had gotten several inches by evening, along with hail, and are forecast for about 20 hours straight of rain, giving 6-8 inches of rain on top of the snow melting. The rivers are going to be running deep. "IIIII'm dreaming of a Whiiiiiite Christmas..."
[I refused to put any Christmas decorations up before Dec. 1, either at the house, or on the website. Now that it's December...]
I'm sorry for not posting for a couple of days, and it might be a little sporadic until I get situated enough to not exacerbate my newly-diagnosed carpal tunnel. We think it was doing the website with my laptop actually on my lap in the evening.

Theme Day: Bridges
Bridge to Nowhere: We came across this structure at LaPush, about 20 minutes west of Forks on the Pacific Ocean. We were told that there used to be a resort that the bridge went to. The river bends around this piece of land, creating a sort of peninsula here. Very pretty area, probably much prettier in the summer when everything is green. You get to this bridge by driving past the Coast Guard station to where the road ends.
The sign at the upper right of the picture is posted on a nearby tree. This would be difficult to reach to be able to attempt to cross...
I didn't sign up in time for the theme day this month, but here are the CDPB sites that are contributing to the theme : BRIDGES.
