Saturday morning walk in May

Snow started falling during the night - I estimate we have about 10-15 centimeters and it is still coming down.   But it isn't cold - the temperature is hovering around zero, and the snow is sticky, fluffy and wet..  Libby and I had a wonderful walk through the neighbourhood. 

The man on the end of the shovel wished us a Merry Christmas as he continued working on his driveway.  Libby was kept very busy sniffing for stuff - where the wild rabbits had been in the night, if another dog had been this way - if, even, god forbid, a cat had dared to walk there.  We wound our way down the streets and up the alleys and then across the school yard.  There is no wind so the snow is falling straight down, decorating the branches and weighing down the evergreens.

If I was in the business of producing gorgeous Christmas card photos, today would have been the day.  Even the garden hose winder looks like a piece of art.
Libby as we all know, loves this kind of weather - it suits her much better than warm days and green grass when all she wants to do is get to water and cool her belly.    So once we got back to the house, a session with the snow shovel was in order.  Now, it's impossible to throw shovel fulls of snow and take pictures...so here is one from earlier this year...but you get the idea.

looks like fun doesn't it?
