Freezing fog -get me outa here!

uh! Freezing fog...not uncommon here in western Oregon. What is uncommon is for it to hang on for over a week. We are stuck in an inversion here in the southern Willamette Valley. While you can go 50 miles north east or west and see the bright sunshine and almost spring like temperatures--we are stuck in this layer of freezing fog.The weather guy says that the sun is not strong enough to burn off the fog in the winter. The ice was pretty for a day or two, but I am so over it now..bring back the rain and wind (gee thought I would never say that). I will even take a snow event, just let me have some different weather!

I'll be back when it thaws out.....

Early 1900 magazine cover images

I have been big into my graphic art design lately...something that I had put on the back burner for quite sometime. But now that I have quit the day job, I have been focusing more on my passions. I have a HUGE library of images that I most likely will never use, but can't bring myself to hit the "delete" key. So sharing a few today of early 1900 magazine covers. Hope you enjoy them as much as I do! Right click to save to your computer pic files.

Today I am joining in on the new party at Etsy Cottage Style Blog....join us and share your vintage treasures!
