That was the view late yesterday afternoon when I headed out for a walk after waiting for Everett to get home from school. When he arrived he announced that he had too much homework and couldn't go along, so I went alone with the trusty hound dogs. They are so reliable; never miss any venture out of the yard.

Today it looks considerably different out there. It's been snowing heavily all day; the trees are outlined in white and the ground and my vehicle are covered with a thick layer of cold fluff. The grid road, icy yesterday, will be even more slippery on my way to town this afternoon. I'll be sure to inch along, taking my time.

Hope the long-handled brush for cleaning snow off the windshield is where I think it is.
