2/28: the weather waited

The forecast said that there would be snow today, but it held off all morning and most of the afternoon, smoothing my way as I went about my business: a hair-cut, lunch out with a friend, a festival of 10-minute plays at school. By the time I was heading home, the flurries had begun--just in time for me to take my walk along the ridge among snowflakes. I feel a bit snuffly now because (though I bundled up) I got a little chill, but it was worth it to walk through the falling snow. (And it's a good excuse to have some hot chocolate now.)
