It Snowed

Thursday was our day. They weather people predicted snow and darned if they weren't right. It started with light flurries mid-morning. I made pizza for lunch and I was working with crust and preparing the toppings.

Looking out the kitchen window, across the road to our neighbors' house.

As time went on the snowfall got heavier. It was really beautiful and put me in a winter mood. We started a fire just before we put the pizzas into the oven and enjoyed our lunch while the snow fell.

It snowed off and on most of the day. When I took Callie out for her walk just after four o'clock the snow had pretty much tapered off, but we had between two and three centimeters on the ground (about an inch). Not much by most winter standards, but a good snowfall for around here.

Part of the back yard and the vineyard, and a neighbor driving out.

Callie and I made the first prints in the new fallen snow out in the vineyard, aside from the occasional bird. I watched football on tv and decorated our christmas tree while it snowed. All in all, a very pretty day.

I just noticed that Ken posted similar photos on his blog today. There are only so many views from our windows!
