Get out there before it's all gone!

You guys, it's snowing!!  It wasn't there when I went out last night, but now we have some & it's fluffy & cold & light & great!  How does this happen?  Already I've been out 3 times to make sure it's real.  I volunteered to help the neighbor kid clear our walkway (it was the least I could do after Nestle barked at him for 10 uninterrupted minutes before finally being sent upstairs to snooze), but Thelma wouldn't let me.  The neighbor kid, Aristophanes, is 19 now & he still loves coming around here to shovel.  We had only 2-3" of snow--that's not a lot; I could've pushed it into a big pile w/my nose--but he rang the bell & offered his services anyway.  Once he told Thelma he's enrolled in college, he was IN, boy.  Like he didn't know *that* would happen.  The girls are suckers for an enterprising, law-abiding young person, esp if she or he is in school and not peddling religious tracts from door to door--that's a deal-breaker.  (But that doesn't happen often.  Once the zealots get a load of our menacing growls & barks (that's mine & Nestle's, not Thelma & Louise's), they tend to hit the bricks.  In this house we have dogs, not dogma.)  So, uh…what was I saying?  Oh, that's right: SNOW!!!!!!
