Baked Eggs With Mushrooms, Bye, Bye Orion! Anya's New Throne, Winter Sales, Spring Yet Snowman

Baked Eggs With Mushrooms-
I found a new recipe recently for eggs baked on top of mushrooms. I made it last week and was excellent! I used thin sliced Italian bread, broiled plain and toasted instead of the flat bread. Recipe here- Mushrooms With Baked Eggs & Flatbread It was great with some green salad.

Already melting this morning

Bye, Bye Orion!
Last night was a gorgeous winter wonderland coming back from Dave's birthday dinner out. It was was free! Dave's idea, not mine. A local place gives you a free birthday dinner, on your day. The snow came down and the roads looked like sparkling, white crystals all the way home. Sadly, come morning, it went to rain :( It snowed pretty hard late in the day yesterday ironically, otherwise they shouldn't have called for a "snow day"! The heavy, late morning snow never did hit, it came about 5 p.m. We got a good 3-4 more inches last night...

Anya's New Throne-
Last week Dave started calling Anya  Our Little Princess When we were out today I saw a clearance priced bed, lined with pale, royal purple, fit for a princess! It's very plush inside, high walls (warmer) and thick floor. Her old, brown one was getting pretty flat. When I got it home I threw on some catnip, and let the games begin!!! She came back a little later, curled up and took a nap :)

Any grooms herself pulling her hind back paws forward to scratch her chin! 

Never seen that before!

Can I sleep like this?

I know there's more in here somewhere!

Winter Sales-
I was in need of some winter clothing for work, and randomly hit the local Penney's store. What deals- I got 2 v-neck wool sweaters, cord slacks, and a polar fleece top, all 50-60 % off. Time to stock up! While I buy a lot of thirfted clothes, most in fact, I needed a few specific things, sometimes hard to find. My new L.L. Bean clearance coat came, perfect for winter! I love their stuff, extremely rugged, lasts forever. They're worth the investment...

Winter Storm Orion Heading Our Way, Anya Up Close

Winter Storm Orion Heading Our Way-
Winter storm Orion is slamming Oregon, and moving east towards us. We'll get hit tonite, and it's already cold. The high here today was 22, and the wind chill this morning was 6. It was not too bad outside at bus duty, but I had bundled up! I love the snow, I just wish we'd have a snow day! Everyone at work is either sick with some version of the flu (me too, but just a cold), or too tired to feel very up. We've had major changes at our school, which is always VERY stressful. No one likes feeling like they're under a microscope. We supposed to get 2-4" tonite, more tomorrow, then on thru Sat./Sun., then switch to rain. Winter Weather Watch

Anya Up Close-
I grabbed Dave the other day, and told him to get his camera. Her loveliness was on the couch, in full sun. He got some great shots!

                          I can't decide if I like black and white better?

Great job with the macro lens!

I told Dave, YES, enter them in the State Fair!!!
