What I Didn't Do This Weekend
Didn't go to Rhinebeck. Didn't really go outside the house, truth be told. Another weekend of 2-day coverage, and considering what it looked like outside on Saturday, that was probably just fine. D is out of town this weekend, so I holed up inside with Emma and Sydney (Rowan is on vacation with D), and transcribed and watched the sky.
Yup. That's actual white stuff. Maybe a bit more than a half-inch, a little less than an inch. Where we are in the valley (south and east of the Great Salt Lake), we often will get lake effect snows when the northern valley doesn't get anything but rain.
It didn't stick around very long, although the temps were cold enough here on Sunday for it to do so. Mostly it just made the pasture out back a soggy mess for the day.
Emma, however, knew just what to do on a cold wintery day. She found a nice warm "lap" to snuggle up in and take a little snooze.
She spent most of the day on Saturday here overseeing the work on my desk. She's a harsh task-mistress.
All for now......
It's been so pretty, blue skies, since then but it's still chilly!

We might FINALLY cool down, but none of the "s" word in our forecast, thank heaven. Does look like nice weather for indoor stuff, though!

Beautiful photos.
At least, Emma isn't keeping your keyboard warm. ;^)

It has been cold! We got 3-4 inches of snow, crazy!! a few little spots left, but it's mostly gone, I wasn't ready for it to stay, that's for sure.

Snow??? What is this "snow" of which you speak? We here in the northeast have only sunny skies and 80 degree temperatures. We know not of this phenomenon...

Brrrr............it's been crazy warm here in the east. Rhinebeck next year with Margene, maybe? We would love to see you again!

Snow. Wow. We here in Minnesnowta haven't even had a hard frost yet. I'll bet all that mud makes the boys fun to clean up! I tried a vacuum on Holley for the first time the other day. She wasn't too keen on the idea initially, but then seemed to find it quite enjoyable.

Wow, you got snow already! I am not ready for the white stuff yet.
I didn't go to Rhinebeck either, but I was ok with that.

It's knitting time, and skiing time. I heard Denver got four inches around the same time period.
We had our first frost yesterday. It's time for this season. (As if I'm ready for it in the garden - HA.)
