The trees that had de-iced overnight have a new ice coating; our mailbox, which had unfrozen by this morning, was iced closed again at lunchtime. Discouraging, as I would really like to be able to get the cat to her vet appointment mid-day tomorrow. #portland

today is all about following the sun around the house and reading in sunny windows and patches of sunlit floor while the wind blows outside.
