The Mountain is Out

It's been so dreary of late that I forgot we had a mountain.   And, I forgot how nice it is to have some blue sky on a winter day.  Today dawned clear -- not sure what that means for Seattle's groundhogs (as if we had any).  Maybe they will see their shadows after all.

One could say we have a seasonal view of Mt. Rainier from the front porch.  (And by "one" I mean a creative Realtor trying to make our house sound really fancy.)  If you look really hard, you can see it.  Here are a couple photos I took this morning -- you kind of have to imagine where the mountain is in the second one.
