We first heard rumors of possible snow yesterday at work, and I must say i was more than a little skeptical. We have not had a good snow in years and I really thought this was just going to be another southern weatherman stretching the truth. So I was determined last night to stay up until I saw at least one snow flake. It took a long time but finally around 2am it was really snowing!!! Lela, Callie, and myself bundled up in bed and waited impatiently for morning to come. At 6:00am the alarm went off and I jumped out and looked through the window.....TONS of SNOW!!
Even though I had the day off, I couldn't stand not being the first person out in that beautiful white fluffiness. So a little after six I grabbed lela's leash and out we went into the dark morning. Lela had never seen snow so it was great to get to walk out and show it to her. Needless to say she loved it and thought that chasing the little tips of grass sticking out of the snow was the best thing ever! It was so nice to just enjoy the fresh snow and to see the world before tire tracks and footprints ruined the serenity of it all.
After this little outing we came back indoors and slept til about 10. This felt so good, but i made myself get back up so that lela could really go play!! I bundled up and even put a little blue vest on lela and we went out once more. This time we walked down the road to the end of the complex where the little fenced dog area is. Lela had such a blast running around and chasing snow balls, but after about twenty minutes i could tell she was getting cold and was tired of being outsid. But right when we were getting ready to leave a lady and her husband came up and asked if their black lab could come play with lela! Of course I said yes because lela adores other dogs and she had the best time playing. They ran and wrestled and lela got thrown down into the snow plenty of times by the bigger dog, but she was having a blast. Finally both dogs were worn out so lela and I said good bye and trekked home.
As soon as we got back inside the apartment I noticed I had snow stuck to my pants and that I tracked it all the way through my apartment...haha oh well. Lela was very worn out and tired and laid down for a nap while I made home made chicken and dumplings!! This is one of my all time favorite meals but I had never made it before. I thought it would be the perfect snow day meal and it was!! I am so happy that it turned out so well :). After the dumplings were done I settled down and watched a movie on tv. and now...as the snow slowly melts I am writing this blog wishing I had pictures to post.....well here is the thing: I took some awesome pictures of lela today but lela also chewed my usb cord for my camera. And since my computer is ancient it does not have a slot to place the memory card to upload pics!! But, no fear! I found the right cord at an online store and I should have it sometime next week. So, even though the pictures will be about a week late I will post them eventually!!
Hope you had a great snow day today!!
