not so much snow…
February 5th, 2010 Posted in lakethere was a 100 PERCENT CHANCE OF SNOW! i mean, wouldn’t you agree that’s a pretty high percentage? but instead of snow, last night it rained, all night long.
and this morning, more rain, then a short period of freezing rain which looked bad, but it stopped and then there were big fluffy snowflakes. but right now it’s just barely snowing. so maybe we’ve been spared all the bad weather. plus the lake isn’t frozen anymore, but it’s pretty choppy out there and i definitely wouldn’t want to be out in a boat.
of course, the day isn’t over yet…
meanwhile i didn’t make myself go running in the not-so-nice weather today. mollie is disappointed but i’m pretty happy about it.
not a lot was going on out on the lake yesterday. i took some pictures with my phone after mollie and i went running. it was cold and windy and i wasn’t thrilled to be outside, but of course mollie enjoyed herself thoroughly. but i had the satisfaction of knowing that there wasn’t a big chance of the running happening today.
sometimes i think about that – being a dog, mollie has no idea what’s going to happen next. at any minute we might say “let’s go for a walk, mollie!” and her day is suddenly made. or better yet, we might go IN THE CAR, followed by a walk, or nirvana, going to petsmart where she gets to smell so many delicious things plus she might get to sniff other dogs.
anyway, yesterday, grey grey grey. here’s a lone and lonely duck sitting out on the ice, which was more icy yesterday than the day before.
see, the snow was almost gone. underneath that ice on the rocks is where the raccoon was hanging out, we think, before the ice melted. when it was frozen solid covered with snow we could see tracks leading under the rocks. mollie is still sniffing around for the dead goose.
i took this with the phone in order to make a panorama. even though my phone looks very low-tech, it takes good pictures.
ok then,
friday grace.
