The Second Snow

I awoke this morning and looked out the window and to my surprise, like a present under the Christmas Tree, there was the second snow. It danced around me while I slept and teased me and taunted me to awaken, so the GeoDog and I could go outside and play in the snow. And so we did.

This time, it stayed on the ground, like a blanket, for about five hours where upon it began to melt away like tears streaming down rosy cheeks.The remnants of our second snow lay quietly outside the window in the cold, slowly fading away into my memory. I wonder how long I will remember this second snow. Will I still be thinking of it at the hundredth snow. Will we be old and gray and losing our memories but the thousandth snow falls and reminds me of this special second snow? The second snow that melted my heart and made me fall in love with this place all over again but this time even more deeply than the last.

Although it would be a blessing and a curse, I would like the third snow to stay on the ground for longer than a few hours. The goal is to awaken to the third snow and retire to the third snow and awaken again to the third snow. Ahhh, if only...

So, let me just say that, when I get to the hundredth snow, I am well aware that I should duck because you all are going to be throwing snowballs my direction. In the mean time, get over it, I am loving my snow people what can I say!?!
The GeoDog is loving it too. She danced and barked and sniffed.
I really have never seen her happier.She bounced in a way that was so adorable.
She is a snow dog that is for sure.

Well, now that most of the snow has melted away and all the playing has taken up so much of the day I must get back to being productive.

Funny how this trip I haven't really updated you on much of the work being done. Wonder why that is? Because I am being so lazy and social. Sheesh!
