snow day

[ironymaiden]

we have at least six inches of snow and it's still coming down. i am supposed to be getting a haircut right now, but it's cancelled since for the most part anything that employs people who live outside walking distance is closed. visibility is at two blocks from home (i usually have a view of Queen Anne, one of the big hills to the south, and it's a wall of white today.)

morning dog walk was lovely. Seattle is being Seattle and the snowshoes and Nordic skis are out along with the sleds. so many happy snow dogs! Leela's coat is made for this weather - the snow sits lightly on the guard hairs of her coat - a quick shake and a brush of a towel and she's completely dry. she was very bouncy at first and then she realized snow above her knees was work and started to seek out the clearest paths.

fortunately our baristas do live here, so i am enjoying a practically perfect morning on the couch with C and professional coffee and fluffy blankets and opera on the radio - the classical station has been working through recordings of the Seattle production of the Ring (not from the year we saw it, but with the same Wotan). it's Götterdämmerung today and we had a little squee over a recitative reminding us of What's Opera, Doc?.

Sounds like a lovely, snowy morning to not have to be anywhere.

Looks like it will all have washed away by Monday, so I hope everybody can play in the snow when they wish.

I was supposed to get a burnt out headlight replaced on my car, which my son does most of the driving in. Just as I was about to postpone my appointment, they called to tell me they were closing early. Ah well, good on them.

This sounds just lovely. I also had a quiet day in, ate the soup I'd made earlier in the week, briefly walked to Seattle Center to see people making snowmen.
