Let it snow!

The press had been talking it up all last week – ‘there’s going to be a blizzard followed by cold temperatures, possibly on Saturday morning, but definitely by late in the day Saturday. Well, they were over zealous, there was not a trace of snow on Saturday morning (I skipped my 7AM Pilates class to avoid driving Burnside) and there was still nothing when Gene and I returned from 2 holiday parties Saturday night.

But, Sunday morning I awoke to swirling snowflakes that continued all day and evening. I loved it! Gene and I stayed cozy with a fire in the fireplace, a stew on the stove and books and, yes, some football, and just a lovely quiet day at home.

Today, I would have stayed home again, working this time, but I had a call to show a condo listing in The Meriwether.  So off I went, braving the icy streets slowly and carefully, but it was not actually a problem. And to be out and about in the snow is really still fun. Since walking is always better than driving in the snow, when I got to South Waterfront I arrived early enough to take a stroll on the waterfront path. Very cold and a bit of bitter wind, but the stillness of the river and the trace of remaining snow gave it a special winter quality. A new group of herons were present at the north end of The Meriwether. It was a special sight.

The showing went well, but that was the end of real estate field work today. I’m glad I had the opportunity to get out, show a home and see the emerging new family of herons.

Let it snow some more!
