with a fine dusting of global warming on the grass and roof. No sense washing the car yesterday because I knew it was coming.
Most of the trees are still green, some are flecked with color, but imagine their surprise at what came in the night. If this keeps up it could be a long winter. Is there ever a short one in these parts? But my couch is comfortable and the cat on the other end is snoring the morning away, tail tucked around head, whiskers twitching as it dreams.
Life is full of small blessings, a night of sleep, a morning with sun, a place that's warm to stay in, a hundred things that pass us by in the ordinary business of life. But on a Saturday morning when a powdering of snow catches the sun through the clouds one quiet moment brings it to mind.
And now to the day.

The dusting of snow that fell in Minnesota last night -- in early October no less -- is a harbinger for a tough winter ahead.
ReplyDeleteWe need to be thankful for the everyday things we have and tend to take for granted: A warm home, a bed, television, the Internet, books, food, a cat or dog, etc.
