Why??

This is why!  Snow........  These are photos of some of the snowflakes that graced us with their presence the other day.  Since then, its been cold enough for it to snow - but no more, well, none that were formed into pretty flakes.  

Yesterday we had quite a lot of white stuff falling and I quickly grabbed my camera in hope of capturing some more of these incredible designs......... but nooooo. The snow was made up of little straight crystals all bundles together - no rhyme or form or prettiness at all. What a disappointment, even though it was really pretty. 

It's cold here, and then I read about the amazing, warm and wonderful days down in Baja and I want to keep packing and sorting and getting ready to roll!

Today we bought the bike rack for the bicycles.  We were hoping to get a scooter or two to take along, but all they are all so big and bulky and we just don't want to rush into getting something we wont want or use later. Maybe for the next trip down - maybe then we will be more organized.

We have had the doglets injected, nails trimmed, faces trimmed and primed for the trip.  We have extra deworming mootie and flea and tick stuff too...  Their official 'healthy letters' from the vet will come in next week after a final check on them both and then we should all be all set and really ready to get rolling!

The dining room is filled with bags and boxes and plastic containers all ready to get loaded into the RV.  Normally we would have put quite a bit of it in there already, but it just too blasted cold to go out more than absolutely necessary!  So a few days before we head out, Frank will bring the RV around to the front, hook up the heat and then we can load and stay half warm at the same time. 

I would love to have Steven's test results before we leave, but am determined to not be freaky even if I have to wait for them.  It would be lovely to leave with that peaceful feeling though.  

Anyway - the computer is cleaned up, we even have a spare one.  The cameras batteries are all charged up and ready, the lenses all cleaned and the extra hard drives ready to get loaded with the thousands of photos I just know I will be taking. Today I tested the High Definition movie mode in the new camera and it is fantastic!  

Tomorrow morning I must put the signs up on the shop, warning people that we are leaving....

Ten days........... only ten days more.....
