Sneaux Day

The local media dubbed yesterday “Sneaux Day”, and the TV stations had all-morning coverage of the snow.  Our little town is north of Baton Rouge, and got 5.5 inches of snow (BR got only 3 inches).

The meezers watched in amazement, as it was their first snow.  All three of them had a prolonged kitty nap time on my lap.  I call that “piling on”.  I was surprised that the three of them would suspend all jealous hostilities that long.  No one was willing to risk loosing a spot close to Meowmy, I guess.

At the end of the day we had our first fire, and Minky was truly grateful.  This is as relaxed as she gets!

Who Sang That Song?

OK, what drunk at Karaoke night asked for “Let it Snow, Let it Snow, Let it Snow”?  Come on, folks, this is the Deep South.  This post is going to be picture-heavy, because today is historical.This is the view out my studio window of our neighbor’s new fairytale cottage, frosted with snow.Our beautiful Sego palm has bowed under the weight of the snow, and the right sentry Magnolia is bent, too.  Here is what I expect to see:Now, back to reality.  Even the decorative grass planted in the urn outside DH’s office window is weighted down with snow.  It’s in a sheltered L of the house, too.

Dang, I knew I should have finished knitting my mittens!
