Sunset today was 4:59 p.m.
Bob on the front porch, Bear in the yard.
I stopped a work session at 4:30 so I could get us all outside for a time before it got dark. …priorities, you know!
Some clear sky to the East, gray to the West, beautiful in the front yard…just after sunset.
While I keep an eye and ear out…generally speaking, I am letting Bear and Bob work things out between them. Bob is very experienced at inter-species communication…Bear not so much – but he is smart and a quick learner :) !!
Srsly! – I am so very pleased at how they are doing and how things in the house are now so easy.
This morning as I sat in the quiet of the start of the day…it was softly snowing.
(the faint “squiggles” behind and under the branches are the falling snow…wide open lens makes the squiggles :) )
Off and on…light flurries.
A soft scattering of snow.
Not everyone likes to be outside using the grill when it is snowing…
I guess I am not everyone.
Lunch…al fresco…in Montana…in November.
The storm and the snow ????
Except for one brief squall yesterday (Thursday)…nada!
Bear and I took a quick run to the garbage dump and a walk down the road…about 4:45 this afternoon (Friday).
That’s it…snow up high, above 6000 feet I think – my house is about 3300.
No snow here.
P.S. The brunt of the storm went/is south of me. It IS cold at 26F and feels colder as the dew point is 19, i.e. the humidity is relatively high which equals cold to the bone….brrr!
So…Bear and I were at the clinic this morning for our check in except that I misheard or didn’t hear or ??? The surgery is scheduled for Thursday, DECEMBER 6.
There was some hope of getting in this afternoon but it didn’t work and just as well since it is snowing and blowing and very cold and forecast to continue. Much as I’d like to have it behind us and on the recovery road, I was somewhat concerned what things might be like tomorrow morning for picking Bear up so we go with the flow.
This morning’s drive in was absolutely beautiful…heavy frost under a wintry sky in advance of the winter storm. We stopped for a walk on the way.
I am sorry to have put all on alert for naught but hope you can save those thoughts and prayers for next month.
Yes, I had some “pre-op” things on my todo list but mostly, this day, was a day to be enjoyed. A good workday, a good and normal day – before the routine changes.
It started out at 53F and stayed balmy until late afternoon when the first of a forecast cold front started making itself known with a bit of wind and off and on rain. But Bear and I had our normal noon outing as well as our pre-sunset outing. The pre-sunset outing is now at 4:30 and it will be ever earlier as we head to the Winter Solstice: 44 days!
We were chased in by a cold rain a bit before sunset but an extra treat in the sunroom made up for the slightly shortened outing.
Mr. Bob is loving his “new house” – especially since it got a bit of fleece…
And it turns out that the light box works for cat photography :) !!
Our Wednesday.
