This morning as Ayla was persuading me to go for the walk (I wanted a warm cup of tea first but she wasn’t having it), I looked up at the sky and decided she was probably right. The clouds had been getting a bit darker and it was looking like rain. The last thing I want is to walk her in the rain when it’s barely above freezing outside. So I agreed with her that we should go ahead and would hopefully avoid any showers.

On the last leg of the walk though, our luck ran out…sort of. Instead of rain, we ended up with snow. It’s not sticking to the ground but it is a bit unexpected. It snowed a bit yesterday also but all melted when it hit the ground. I still wish for Ayla’s sake that we’d get a bit of accumulation but there’s always next year.

I was trying to point out the flakes to Ayla and encourage her to play with them…but every time I told her “look” and pointed at a big flake, she would start wildly looking beyond my finger for an animal or anything interesting that I must be pointing out. I mean who wants to play with frozen rain? Booooring. 🙂
