Fresh Powder
Yesterday afternoon the snow began to fall very lightly. By 8:00 the roads were pretty well covered and the snow was lightly falling. This morning we awoke to about 4" of snow - not enough for a snow day. I love the quiet of the night while the snow falls. The light sky of the morning that occurs from the glow of the already fallen snow. The morning walk with the two pups was glorious. One of my secret pleasures, since I was a kid was to be the first to make tracks in the freshly fallen powder. Stewey, Coco and I trekked through the neighborhood creating a trail. It was still flurrying a bit, we hummed Christmas carols and I daydreamed about calling in sick to go snowshoeing in the mountains.
