First snow, really


The morning brought our first snow. Sure, there was a dusting a week ago, and the ground's been frozen, but we've gotten an inch and more's coming. The quiet outside is marvelous, the smell wonderfully crisp and wet. Pup's ready for his treat on returning from outside: to lie on the floor and get his paws massaged with great waxy-protective "musher's secret." Think snow.
