Views from Around the Sanatorium

When I woke up yesterday morning, this was what I saw out my window:
I can count on one hand how many times I've seen fog in AZ.  What a treat.  Reminded me of all the mornings I would wake up as a girl with hoarfrost covering everything in sight and what a magical land that made.

When I got out of bed, this is what I saw at the foot of the stairs:
Micah was reading Frog and Toad to Hyrum and Evie in this cozy pile of soft things.  It was that kind of day around here.

I love this weather!  Brad, however, is ready to flash his AZ union card and demand better weather.  Hope you're all getting cozy wherever you are and whatever Mother Nature may be throwing your way!

  1. It's so funny the things we take for granted in our own backyard. We have fog often, but I've never thought of it as a treat! And, what cute moment you captured with your camera of your little ones...so sweet of Micah to read to his siblings!

  4. The fog cheered me up immensely. It felt as friendly as that cushy reading spot your kids made.

  8. Hope you were wide awake when you got to the bottom of the stairs. So cute!
    Looks like Evie is totally pleased with herself.

    Fog makes you excited huh?
    Well, we have had sunshine and FREEZING cold weather, but no snow.
    I think I'm ready for snow.

  10. Hubs longs for fog. He grew up in the Bay Area and so fog was part of his childhood. We don't get that here very often.
    Instead of fog, we got snow. Send your husband here and he will be begging for fog...wink!
