First Snow

The wind was howling last night. Somewhere around o'dark-thirty the rain started and our first fall storm of the year was upon this little house on the prairie. I clung to the covers and snuggled closer to little Mr Blue Eyes sound asleep in my bed.

I smiled, thank goodness it was Saturday!

Then I chuckled- Handy Man was up in Wyoming somewhere on his annual antelope hunt and would be freezing his butt off all day

Day gets started, cartoons on, baby fed, and I notice IT IS SNOWING!!! The first snow of the year is here. We open all the shades on the windows and watch the wet heavy flakes blowing down.

Not thirty minutes later, power goes out. Looks like we are heading into town for the day!

I pray this is a good sign for a better winter this year!
