Up around 8:30 to deal with cleaning up the apartment for Chris’ arrival late tonight, fresh sheets on the bed, folding his favorite towel and putting it on the bathroom counter, yet another salad for breakfast — something about being on a cruise for seven days that makes you want to eat a lot of salads when you get off the boat.

More snow expected tonight, but here are a couple of picks of what I arrived home to…

and like I said, more expected tonight. Can’t beleive that there are daffodils poking up already. Doesn’t look like the weekend clean-up happened, or they hate me for being in Hawai’i — good thing Julian was busy working in Oly-town.

Whitaker is expected tonight, hopefully for dinner, more likely for leftovers. Whitaker would be the brother of Whitaker the maid, this would be Whitaker the all-around roust-about  — miller of lumber, fixer of electrial systems, installer of solar systems, raiser of sheep. His website is here: http://www.redalderranch.com

His mission, should he choose to get out of bed in the morning is: fix the fuel gauge on Bob the Bus, see Twango photos at: http://www.twango.com/channel/markso.wanderlodge, fix the passenger side mid-section lights (again, on Bob), and chainsaw some lumber into usable pieces.

Me — I’m working on various projects, dealing with all the mail and packages, and generally trying to catch up. Padding and folding jobs from Paper, Scissors on the Rock, calendars to print for the winter Faerie gathering at Breitenbush Hot Springs. More than enough work to keep me busy until I have to go back into town late this week to sign the papers on my new house (http://www.twango.com/channel/markso.newhouse)
