Then I put on my boots, completely obscuring my handy-dandy dollar store snowman socks, unfortunately, and went outside to clean off my car and shovel, even though it hadn't snopped snowing. Why? you may well ask. Why didn't I just romp and cavort and do all those other fun things one can do in the snow?
The sad truth is that I had to go to the store to buy supplies - aaarrrggghhh. Usually when it starts to snow, I lounge smugly and snuggly at home, pitying those poor misguided fools who panic and run out to the store to buy milk and bread as though they will be confined to their homes for the next three weeks. However, I realized this morning that as luck would have it, I was out of just about everything but cat food and apples, and neither one has been appealing to me a lot lately, so off I went in search of provender.
It is just beautiful outside. It has stopped snowing, temporarily I believe, and I am going out for a walk to Harry's Brook. I am suffering from brook deprivation due to the continuing snow cover, and really need a dose badly, so I am venturing forth into the winter landscape, armed with my phone camera in case I feel moved to take a picture or two.
If we get more snow tonight, perhaps tomorrow will yield a new snowman of more impressive stature than my previous attempt, fetching though his/her hairdo of fern fronds was.
In the mean time, happy snow to all. Try to take the time to really look at the world and enjoy its frosty, sparkling white beauty while you can.
