Remembrance Day

I woke up before the crack of light, stoked up the fire, folded the laundry and filled the kettle with water for green tea. As I stood by the window I noticed the sky was lighter, I could see down the driveway and out to the road, covered now in snow. Yay skiing.

It snowed all day yesterday, wet sloppy stuff that melted as soon as it hit the road although it managed to pile up on the trees and on the roof.

The thermometer said it was zero, better leave before it got any warmer. The only other signs of life were the neigbourhood dogs, running ahead of me, tongues hanging out, wagging their tails. When I got back home there was two inches of snow stuck to the bottoms of my skis and it had started to snow again.
