I'm a little late with this as the light snow pretty much disappeared yesterday even though it was about 12 this morning when I got up. The weather mostly went around us again.  I'm grateful. I went to sleep in my sweats last night, too lazy or tired or both to get another blanket out for the bed.  Before I turned in I went out on the deck and looked up at the sky.  Clear as a bell and a zillion stars in every direction.  Our local owl was performing its vocalizations.  I could hear the noise of the little stream that runs across the front of my neighbor's yard by the sidewalk.  No other sounds.  I was really glad I'd insulated myself up in my wool socks and heavy bathrobe and gone out for a look.  It puts winter and days of freezing temperatures into perspective.
