Snow arrives!







The weathermen have been forecasting snow for our area and this morning it finally arrived. I awoke to large, fluffy flakes falling quietly and to Devin meowing - not so quietly - as he wanted to go out. The snow didn't seem to bother him and as I let him out, he bounced off to adventure. Meanwhile, B. had gone off to feed the cats at B&M's place. They were gone to LA for the past few days to attend a wedding and they should be returning later today, provided the roads are okay. B. returned shortly after my awakening.

We decided to head out into the snow, too. We walked the ten blocks or so to one of the area's newest breakfast places. We had been there before so we knew we'd get a great meal. This morning we settled on omelets and sat and watched folks try to drive on the street outside the window. Most of the vehicles had no problem but there was one that just kept skidding and slipping around. The driver finally ended up parking the car and he & his passenger went off.

The snow is clinging to the trees and roads, making it all look quite festive. We enjoyed our walk in the snow and then headed home to read the Sunday paper by the fire. A cozy day to stay indoors...
