Snowy Saturday


The front sidewalk and yard

It started snowing about 9:00 last night and is still going at it at 9:00 this morning, but it is pretty light. I measured it just now at 4 inches (10.16 cm) on the deck railing out back. Tom got up early to clear our drive and sidewalk and then took off to plow and shovel snow at the little railroad. I don't know if the train will go out today or if anyone will ride the unheated cars when it is this chilly -- 23 at the moment (-5 C). But it should be very pretty along the tracks if they do. Santa is visiting with children in the shop, whether they ride or not, and it is certainly a picturesque day to go see that Jolly Old Elf.

Meanwhile Cassidy and Sundance (the pouty one below) have settled in for a long winter's nap on our Christmas quilt.


Cassidy: Snore, snore, snore!


Sundance: Hey, I'm trying to nap here! Get that flash out of my eyes!
