Silent Night
It is amazing how a layer of new fallen snow can muffle the outside noises. A layer of Mother Nature’s insulation.
Though I had not realized we were due the snow . . . here it is . . . deal with it.
I knew once that breakfast and coffee had been served, Dennis would be out playing in the snow. I do keep an eye out for him as he does the trips up and down the drive. At this point in his life, he knows how much he can manage. I was relieved when the snowblower sat idling several times. When I looked through the bathroom window, the porch kitties were also happy that Dennis was taking a break. The snowblower is one that Kevin gave to Dennis more years ago than I can remember. Dennis does regular maintenance on it and so it serves him well.
Yesterday Dennis did take a second snowblower out to be serviced. That also is one that Kevin handed off. When Dennis and I talked over this noon’s break, Dennis did comment that once he knows it is runny correctly, he doesn’t know if he will keep it. It is quite a bit of a larger unit and also more powerful. Being it is self propelled, controlling it could cause concerns. The few times Dennis tried it last season, those were his same comments.
I am in the studio putzing. My email told me that the pink fabric I ordered should be here sometime this week. That will put me back onto Luella’s blanket.
This snowfall was perfect snowman building snow. Hmm. Our neighborhood has no children to try out the snow. When I looked out, the concrete drive had pretty much cleared itself. First snowfalls are, “Now you see me, now you don’t.”
