Well, Mother Nature decided to give me one last hoorah before she let go of winter. I woke up Sunday morning to gray skies and a little bit of rain. As with my usual routine, I dressed and took Jake and Buddy out for their morning walk. They’re not crazy about walking in the rain, but it was a light drizzle and they really needed to go out to do their morning routine.
Ten minutes later, we are back in the house and the dogs are curled back on my bed. Got to get a few more minutes of nap time before I make the bed. I’m standing in the kitchen watching the rain turn into tiny snowflakes. It seems like no time at all that those tiny snowflakes are now huge and coming down hard. I can barely see across the street!
By 11 a.m., the snowfall is pretty much done. My spot in the world is covered in about half an inch of snow. Guess it’s a good thing that I had I couple packages of hot cocoa left to make. Who cares if it’s March and the hot cocoa is mint flavored? When snow is on the ground, I’m having my cup of hot cocoa! By 4 p.m., the temperature has warmed to a balmy 40 degrees. Most of the snow is gone. Had I not gotten up this morning and taken a few pictures of it, I would be hard pressed to convince anyone that the snowfall had ever happened.
That is my life here in northeast Missouri. I did wait a little bit for the weather to change and it did. Spring will be here in a weeks time. My days are now getting a little longer with each passing day.
I’m happy to have woken up today. Let’s enjoy it while we can.
