First Snow

The weather man said that we would wake up this morning to lots of this white fluffy stuff. He was wrong. It didn't come until tonight. And then boy, did it come down. It seemed to just be floating down, like feathers. Only colder. I had forgotten how pretty a snowstorm could be. When the weather man had said there was going to be a snowstorm, Hombre and I started scurrying around like little squirrels hunkering down for the long winter. Thats what we were used to back in the midwest. When they said there was a storm comming out there--it meant it was going to be a real doosey-- Snow coming in sideways, and blowing like you've never experienced, and extremely cold! But, when it started snowing here tonight, it was almost peaceful like. It was quiet, and there were big fluffy flakes. The snow was sticking to the grass, and it looked like a large white blanket. Snow storms here are beautiful. It's good to be back home.
