Cra-Cra

That is what teenagers now say when things are too weird to understand or believe. Without going into details, that has been my week. So to move away from "cra-cra" I will post some photos of the lovely white dust that decorated us this past week and forced us to slow down. We are a little too excited because this is the first snow in years that was visible and lasted.

It started light and with very small snowflakes. 

Above taken through a screened window from the second story.  You can see the flakes getting larger and starting to cover everything.

Soon the scene across the river was starting to become hidden behind the flakes as large a duck feathers.

Even the birds were dressed in snow!

I looked out the kitchen window and it looked as though a fox had visited recently!

I grabbed my coat and scarf and put on snow boots.  I also got a plastic sleeve to cover the camera and see if I could find that crazy fox, as I had stumbled on the pair a few years ago after a snowfall.

I was early enough that most of my neighbors still have unblemished driveways.

The street itself bore different markings.

A man outside the neighborhood with a large dog walks down our rural street.  I must have missed him by an hour or so!

It was a lovely if brief walk in the cold, and for those of you who are sitting outside under a palm tree or shopping in a busy city, I hope that this was a bit of change.  For those who are under snow, I hope this was not too boring.
