Dressed In Snow

My neighborhood took on a blanket of snow, several inches thick, starting before dawn.  A weather emergency was declared, everything slowed to a crawl, and as far as I heard or saw, not a soul in this city was unhappy about it.

The place was beautiful, wearing a layer of sweet, cold ice cream.  This day gave us all of the favors in a proper snow storm but no wind, no extreme cold, no new ice. 

I walked a few miles during the afternoon, going between my home and where I'm cat sitting. There are eight fuzzy bellies to fill this week.  I shoveled my share of snow, too. 

This really was a lovely day.
