Flee Plus Flee Equals Six

During the Christmas holidays we had several meals with the Amboy branch of the family. There were three of us on each side of the table, when Arthur noted:
"one, two, flee," pointing at each of us on the opposite side, and "one, two, flee," people on his near side of the table. Then he pronounced, "flee plus flee equals six!"

Boxelder Tree Blown Down

Notice how the branches broke in multiple places, and only smaller limbs actually hit the house. The kayaks were right next to it. The trunk didn't break, because the roots pulled up instead. One branch got caught in the telephone lines, and now that pole is leaning as far to the right as it was leaning to the left.

Kayaks are Safe

It looks like the tree was shaped perfectly for arching over the boats. The boat rack leg is broken, so it may have actually hit them.

Red and White Sweater

The finished sweater for Arthur. It needs to be blocked.

Light Snowfall in Renton

This photo was taken through the kitchen door window, after dark, while it was snowing. There was only about one inch of snow on the ground, and it only accumulated three inches during that hour. I braced the camera against the door and turned off the flash, so it was a slow exposure.
