First Snow


I haven’t been paying attention to the weather forecast so this came as a surprise. So far we hadn’t had so much as a little sleet with our rain – except for one brief cold snap it’s been very mild. But overnight the clouds rolled in and dumped maybe half an inch of snow.


Tobie always finds this very exciting. New stuff! New scents!


Which is why I immediately changed the itinerary, because our usual walkie trails involve going up and down the ridge and I won’t risk Tobie towing me down a steep slope when it’s slippery. He certainly didn’t mind: We seldom come into the wash together anymore so it was a new treat for him.

Here’s the Secret Lair in its hollow, pretty much hidden by juniper and snow…

About Joel

You shouldn't ask these questions of a paranoid recluse, you know.

    Joel, you beat me too it. While we have had a few flurries which melted as they hit the pavement, we have had nothing like your inch and a half of the white stuff…. Yet. 🙂

    No snow yet down here in east central Florida! At 3:30 PM on 25 November, it’s only 71.6 degrees.

    If your roof was randomly jagged, your hide would be very well camouflaged!

    I have now spent more time on 4chan than ever before in my life and I need a shower. Thanks loads.

    I know Ian, and any freedomista would find his views on pretty much any topic pretty unobjectionable. He keeps his mouth shut because he’s running a business. He’s not a closet gungrabber, or gay, or nazi. He wasn’t at Chaz. He does have an impressive collection of foreign camo gear which is what I gather that thread was about, if it matters. 4chan dweebs have far too much time on their hands and some of them seem obsessed with Ian. I happen to know that he uses them for entertainment on the rare occasions when he thinks about them at all. Let’s never bring up 4chan here again.

    I don’t even want to know what a “4chan” is. Sounds like some kind of disabled television.
