It is time for mittens and boots at our historic Fan District Bed and Breakfast. Snow started falling yesterday evening and has pretty much continued all night and into today — there were patches of sleet and wintry mix over night I heard.
Mother Nature left snow caps on our ornaments hanging on the dogwood tree outside.
In the kitchen garden, the wellhouse has snow on the roof, the rosemary is all askew and the old upright yew in our yard has branches that are spreading out and down – not pointing skyward like they did before the storm. Some our worst ever storms come up from the south and that is what this one did.
It is still snowing but to give you an idea of how much snow we have, there’s about 7 or 8 inches on the table and chairs outside in the yard. What do you think? Well, I’ve got to suit up and go help shovel the sidewalks! My people will think I am lazing about if I don’t get out there. Maybe they will forgive me if I bring them some hot chocolate!
