Snow and Sundogs

Wednesday, February 5th, 2014

It snowed all day yesterday and into the night leaving us with about a foot of snow to cope with.

It was perfect weather to snuggle in under a quilt and remove all of the little bits of freezer paper from the back of the finished dog quilt top, so that is what I did. I could watch the falling snow go horizontally past the window and be thankful to be warm and safe inside. By late afternoon the birds had emptied the feeder and it needed a refill. Our regulars had been joined by less frequently seen customers, like the Carolina Wrens and Red Winged Blackbirds.

This morning our world is pristine, white and sparkly. There are two sundogs in the sky. I have only ever seen one sundog before, so this is a rare phenomenon for me. I tried to get a photo but this does not do it justice, the colors are brighter, they look like slices of rainbow.
