Feels Like Winter Is Here.

12-6-14 VERMONT: Intrepid Vermonters, Donna, Jane, Phyllis, Ken Bruce and Arnie, showed up for dinner as the snow began and the hors d’oeuvres appeared and didn’t leave until the cheesecake was gone and three inches were on the ground. It was another great meal, one of many.

This morning Judy the chef and I went to the dump in the continuing snow and then into town on errands. It’s much warmer today, in the thirties, thanks to the southerly wind that also brought the storm. Everywhere is postcard beautiful in its fresh whiteness.

When we got home, we took the dogs for a pasture walk on snowshoes for the first time this year. There are six to eight inches of snow at the moment. None of the dogs needed snowshoes. They were busy sniffing, rolling, tasting and digging holes in the snow.

Is there something under the snow?

Snowy pond and woods.
