I’m starting to get back into the Pacific Northwest vibe now that I’m home. It’s been a typical PNW winter since we returned last week, with lots of clouds and drizzle, but that makes the sunny days all the more beautiful. It’s a good excuse to get out and go for a walk (especially in the middle of doing business taxes.)

With days in the upper-40s Fahrenheit (~10ºC), it feels positively balmy after spending new year’s in Montreal. I hope those of you on the east coast of the States and Canada are bundling up and staying warm in your sub-freezing temperatures!
