Inside a Snow Globe

 Hello Everyone,

.....and since we've no place to go, let it snow, let it snow, let it snow 𝅘𝅥𝅰𝅘𝅥𝅰𝅘𝅥𝅰

This is the backyard the day before the snow started.  We had almost 4" of rain in 24 hours.  In the night, the rain came down in buckets, and the wind howled.  The trees were whipping around like a whirling dervish. Then the rain turned to snow, a peaceful silent snow. 

I discovered that I'm fluent in silence, and become mesmerized when it snows. There's beauty everywhere I look.

When I was out and about checking for wind damage, I saw these tracks under the edge of the deck.  Now I'm not a great tracker, but these are bear tracks.  The bear walked right under my sewing room window, and then under the deck. Then it walked up the back stairs, pushed the gate open, and walked across the deck.  YIKES!

We feel as though we are inside our own personal snow globe.  We had company coming for dinner, but I still took the time for a "timeout" in my chair for my afternoon reading time.  I call it my reading time, but sometimes it turns into naptime. 

I got the chance yesterday to use my new ergonomic snow shovel.  Mr. Joe is so thoughtful, and only buys the best for me.  HA!  While he clears the driveway with the snowblower, I clear off the steps and make a path to the cabin.  We, and the entire town will be out and about today in preparation for the arrival of the next storm rolling in this afternoon. All of next week looks stormy too.  I hope and pray all of this precipitation will make a dent in our drought.  Flakes are welcome here!

𝅘𝅥𝅰𝅘𝅥𝅰𝅘𝅥𝅰 The fire burns down to embers, but at our age who remembers?  Let it snow, let it snow, let it snow.𝅘𝅥𝅰𝅘𝅥𝅰𝅘𝅥𝅰

Soon,

Lynn
