The polling station in Lowick, Cumbria. Fittingly dark and moody given the way things look like they may be going.

After snowshoeing to Sawyer mountain, I decided to stop by the Skykomish to get the last shot of the day. I try to make it a habit of taking a shot along the Skykomish on the way home from hiking the Stevens Pass area. Gas isn't cheap so I figure I better utilize the time while I am there!
Getting ready for dinner. We were booked once again for Marjellchen. It's rich and hearty farmhouse food and a homely atmosphere and so I tried to dress accordingly.
"Coming up close
Everything sounds like welcome home
Come home and oh, by the way
Dont you know that I could make
A dream thats barely half-awake come true
I wanted to say - but anything I could have said
I felt somehow that you already knew
Coming up close
Everything sounds like welcome home
Come home"

Eager to go, but no snow. Seen at the recent Northwestival in our neighborhood. This was supposed to be a winter event, but it seemed more like April.
If you take as many photographs as I do then sometimes you happen upon one that works. And this is one of those, taken prior to going out for a cafe dinner. I know it's a wee bit blurred but I like the diffused effect. I've cropped it a bit for my new flickr buddy icon.
Musical Advent 11/24. A Christmas Gift for you:
I confess that I tasted my first Snowball cocktail aged four. It was closely followed by a Babysham chaser!
My mother had a sideboard with a cupboard full of weird and wonderful drinks such as De Kuyper Cherry Brandy, Bols Blue Curacao, Creme de menthe and of course, Warninks Advocaat.
I spotted these ready made Snowball Cocktails in the supermarket, alcohol content 3.5% whereas the Snowball cocktails my Mother made back in the day were around 14%. I find the ready made bottles of Snowball most unpleasant so I will be using my Mother's recipe circa 1965.
TGIF to all my dear Flickr friends. Thank you for your inspiration, friendship, random comments and humour. Have a great weekend. Drink sensibly and stay safe. 🍷🎅❤️🐈🐈🍹🎄🌟
