19/1/19 Sat Dramatic snow and intrusive squirrels

Lately each morning starts with the red squirrels. Either the gray squirrels are eating elsewhere first things or they are sleeping late.

It started out clear, with a fresh dusting of snow stretched out beneath blue sky. The shadows stretch long across the pastures and today’s sun will only climb 24˚ above the horizon here at “high” noon. A 24˚ storm is coming over the western horizon, promising 15″ of snow. Temps all below freezing, hanging around 15˚F.

Jan 10th, the wet snow had coated every twig and as the day went along, cloud shadows opened and shuttered the sun in different places.

NPR, the wallpaper of my indoor life, sends me twirling in the kitchen, succumbing to the need to boogie in the living room. 15˚F outside keeps me dancing indoors and the music moves me often, thoughts of my adventure adding momentum.
