In answer to your question Janice, the Thatched building was taken from the web when we were looking for a traditional local building style to make up the card. I wanted something that would fit the area and the season and my DH was 'playing nicely' hence the sign which he added to the

Hi Linda, I see that Portland should have zero centigrade today for a high, plus whatever your windchills are.  I was just at the post office and my car outdoor thermometer registered one centigrade so we are a little warmer than you. :-)  Yesterday it was minus 30 centigrade with the wind chill.
