No snow day

All day Sunday, there were excited whispers among the people at the Holiday Crafts Fair that Monday would see snow on the ground. It's the first snow of the (last eight or ten?) seasons. The last time we had snow--a good layer it was, too--Howard the Cat was in his prime. Of our three cats, he was the only one to embrace the cold, white stuff. I got some adorable white cat on white snow pictures for Christmas cards that year. So, last night, I was more than ready to have a white winter. I spent the evening peeking out of the curtains hoping to catch the first snow flake fall, but it was just foggy. This morning, I got up early and rushed to the window, but it had only rained the night before and it was still so foggy that I couldn't see the hills. By mid-day,the fog had cleared and we could see that the surrounding hills got a dusting. It's all very pretty and very, very cold.
