...... catches the snow. Winter has reinforced its arrival here in the south, we've had a light dusting of snow overnight. In response I have put my thermals on under my jeans and lit the fire before breakfast.
Somehow the effect of snow outside encouraged me to get out of bed early. I still have an attitude of childhood excitement, the desire to build even the smallest of snowmen. My second thought was more adult, the thought of slippery roads and the inconvenience of extended journey times. Thankfully I don’t need to go anywhere in particular until tomorrow so the car can keep its white toupee for now.
Even with the fire going, the kitchen thermometer tells me its about 8C in here, Sitting down typing doesn’t generate much heat so the thermals are needed along with a hat scarf and gloves.
The sun is working its way up and over the hills so by lunchtime all trace will be gone and I can go back to being just cold without the magic of snow.
