Small flakes a blanket make


After work I picked up the doggies and climbed the North Sister.  It was spitting snowflakes when I started and some snow squalls moved in while I was climbing to the top.  I thought to myself, 'I better capture this quick because it is the first snow of the year and will soon be gone.'

But I got to the bottom and it continued to flurry.  I picked up the kids at school and it continued to flurry.  Nora asked, 'do you think it will accumulate?'  I did not think so.  And then while I made chicken noodle/minestrone kale soup (which the kids loved for once) it started to snow REALLY hard.   And suddenly it was a white, white world with a blanket of snow on the ground.

The kids were ecstatic.  Patrick
