This morning when I awoke, it was snowing. I was rather shocked to say the least but at the same time pleasantly surprised. They were calling for a possibility of snow yesterday and hubby said he saw some flurries but that was about it. But this morning, there were big, huge, wet flakes falling rather quickly and most of the cars were blanketed in the moist snow. Nothing was really sticking to the ground, though, which I suppose is the good news (not for Ayla of course) and the thermometer is reading 34 degrees so I guess most of it won’t be sticking around long.
When we went for our walk this morning, Ayla did get to have a bit of snow fun. The fields behind us and the grassy areas were still covered with snow although she didn’t really seem to grasp that things were any different than rain…just colder perhaps. I’m still waiting for that day when there’s at least a foot of snow on the ground and she can really romp in it…but we might have to wait until next year the way things are going now…or go to visit grandma & grandpa in Bavaria since they get a lot more snow than we do.
The contractors are supposed to come today and finally finish cleaning out their junk from our outdoor patio. This will put our minds at ease a bit because we can finally let Ayla roam around freely in the courtyard. We’ve tried to let her do that now but she usually manages to find something like slightly damp paint rollers (she might be trying to turn herself into a Landseer), some strange compound in a little tub (which apparently tasted great), rolls of tape or pieces of insulation. Thankfully she hasn’t seemed to have eaten anything toxic but if I see one more cigarette butt or glass shards on the ground from our workers, I might have to kill someone. It’s not as if they don’t know we have a big dog running around…
