Our first measurable snow arrived late Saturday night or early Sunday morning. Punky went down the ramp, stepped off the end where I had cleared the snow, done her thing then started to walk around.
As soon as she stepped out of the spot I had cleared, she made a u-turn and hurried back up the ramp. She didn’t want to go out the day before when it was raining so hard, but since she can’t see she didn’t know we had gotten snow.
I do hope that any of you who were traveling home after the long holiday weekend made it home safely. Places just west of us really got a lot of snow. Anywhere from 5-9 inches! We had way more rain than snow, but the rain turned to ice before we got snow. Oh well, it is that time of year.

And here I thought it was just used in typing class to make you use every key! I dropped out of typing class because it caused me a terrible headache every day, plus I didn’t think I’d ever have a job where I needed to type!

I took Punky out Sunday night about 9 p.m. and it was so pretty out! The moon was shining bright, reflecting off the snow. A beautiful sight!
