Snoqualmie Pass |
My father used to say that snow before Thanksgiving was a harbinger of a good new year to come. Living in the South, that almost never happened. It has been snowing in the passes for weeks here, but I am told that it is rare below 400 feet. Last night was one of those rare occasions. It had been predicted, and it came and went just as we were told it would. Around 2:30 the cats all moved into my bed. And instead of vying for position in front of the window, they were all trying to move under the covers. My throat was dry so I decided to make myself a cup of Sleepy Time tea. From the kitchen I could see flurries falling around the street light outside our fence. I watched it for a half hour or more before it stopped. After finishing my tea I had to fight my way back into my bed. The sleepy cats had claimed most of the real estate and weren't all to happy about having the warm covers around them disturbed. Cheese cried because of it, but was placated when he was allowed one of my pillows all to himself. I awoke this morning to find the cats and the snow gone as if it had all been a dream.
was it just a dream?
ReplyDeleteNo, I found a tea bag in my robe pocket this morning... ;o)
DeleteBRRRRRRRR! That looks cold and you know it is cold when the cats are headed under the covers. I hope you have a wonderful holiday weekend cold or not. I'm sure your furbabies will help keep you warm. Eat lots of pie and drink lots of tea and of course have pleasant dreams :)
ReplyDeleteEnjoy the snow!
ReplyDeleteIts always pretty unless one has to travel in it and if there is a lot of ice on the ground. I always did enjoy watching the snow fall when we lived in Montana.

Poor Cheese. My soft hearted self is glad you gave him a pillow.
ReplyDeleteAs we move (too fast) into the sweaty season I envy your snow.
My snow is still here. Only now it is crusty and hard! :)
