friday

Today's snow was predicted to begin around noon, with less than an inch accumulation. So when I received problematic paperwork in this morning's mail requiring a couple of hours to sort out in person, I decided not to wait til Monday but to go immediately and take care of it so I wouldn't have it in the back of my mind all weekend. Less than an inch of snow would mean either light snow that wouldn't be bad driving, or heavy snow that would be easy to wait out before coming back home.



Well, the "noon" part was correct. But heavy snow was still falling 
when I got home at three and went out to check on the goats.

I know I've said this before: I'd rather have any amount of snow than a quarter-inch of ice. Chores are harder and take longer but they get done. We've got firewood, food, and - touch wood - we've got water.


And of course, daily markmaking.



I hope all is well in your varied and far-flung corners of the world.
Thanks for visiting and commenting on mine.
