January’s snow storm provided a wonderful sledding hill on the road going to the Jefferson Beach Fishing Pier near Kingston Wa.  The sledders were flying down as soon as the road became packed enough for the sleds. Since the road curves and is a good distance from start to finish it was an exhilarating experience for sledders of all ages including moms, dads, kids, and even grandpas. Approximately 6 inches of snow was received in a day long burst of winter weather making a winter wonder land for everyone to enjoy. People seemed to be out all day taking walks, sledding, visiting neighbors, and sharing food. Chili, fresh baked corn bread and hot chocolate were enjoyed in our neighborhood, especially by the youngsters who worked up enormous appetites dragging their sleds up the hills. Our local children slept especially well that night.

The monochromatic scenery supplied a dramatic backdrop for even amateur photographers.

Yacht Club Broiler

A January morning breakfast at the Yacht Club Broiler in Silverdale Wa was just the way to brighten a dreary blustery winter day. We enjoyed  roast beef hash with eggs, scones and coffee laced with a little Baileys to warm us. Yummy!

The perfect picture of our Northwest winter weather can be seen from the deck of the Yacht Club Broiler.  Dare say this is the weather that makes us enjoy chowder, bread and coffee.

A flock of Mallards were enjoying the winter weather at the Silverdale Waterfront Park. It was quite evident the weather suits them just fine. Guess our weather is for the birds.

Sledding in Full Color!The white splendor was upon us last week – good for some, not so good for others. But all-in-all if you have kiddos, (or cross country skis) it was fun! It was noted that a hot sledding location for winter frolicking is right nearby – Snow Horse! (local golf course in other seasons). It is a bowl so lots of fun and roller-coaster-like sledding. Not a far walk from Indianola on the trail that runs along the golf course and not quite as speedy as Killer Hill.

 

Speaking of Killer Hill – three locals had the eternally cool (and fast!) Radio Flyer metal railed sleds. The REAL DEAL! They flew down the hill – the kids were so impressed!

School was out, for many, so was work. So off we went to play in the frozen world. Power stayed on – hallelujah! Which made playing in the snow all the more fun with a chance to go inside, warm up and have some cocoa. We don’t get it too bad nor often – hope you all had a chance to play!

Indianola Clubhouse is also a Red Cross Warming Station in the case of power outage in the area. You can sled down there – or to the Indianola Country Store. The Store had limited sled parking on Thursday but was a great place to meet with friends and neighbors and discuss the best sledding hills to venture out to next! It’s also nice that we, in Indianola, can get out of the house, on foot, during frozen winter days!
