Snow!

well - we didn't get out fast enough to avoid snow altogether.... it was snow big flurries this morning and is cold and windy .... so our timing is off by one day...

today pack the car and get things ready for our caretaker -  but in two days all four of us will be in warmer climes- with the sunshine, blue sky and beach!

two views of our public beach-

the view from the Beach House-

The view from Moore's Stone Crab and Mar Vista

The View from Tide Tables---

fun and sun and extended vacation awaits!!!!

outta here!

yuck again snow- not today but just a couple of days ago- bad photo is evidence-

so we decided to get out of town sooner rather than later-  and so I am starting to pack the car and get things ready to head south for some warmth and sunshine!  River Cottage here we come!



the real deal

today we have real snow and it is lovely to look at- LOL

I stayed in and worked on photos of the trip which you can see below in a link posted from shutterfly to the blog- this is my first time to do this-

I hope the book gives a flavor of Argentina and Uruguay - there certainly are enough food photos to help out on that score.

but before you go on to the sunshine and warmth of Argentina - check out our weather here in beautiful Chicago- our kind of town! LOL

first the view from the front bedroom window- again

and then the view of the back yard from the upstairs sun room - you can see the bush on the right hand side still has green leaves under its snow coat

oh no! snow! no!

aaackk here it is December 1st and even though there are still some green/yellow leaves on my witch hazel in the back yard- we have a dusting of SNOW this morning!

our winter getaway can't come soon enough I guess...LOL
