PORCH PONDERINGS

Snow at last

It finally is snowing in my part of Montana. The western part of the state got lots of snow, good for the ski areas. But we got rain all day yesterday. Now this morning the snow is moving in. This is the first real snow of the season. And pretty late in coming.

You know how they send pictures from years ago to you on Facebook? Well, I've been getting some from 5 - 6 years ago. Lots of snow. We are just in a dry spell, it seems.

I officially resigned from the Chamber duties the other day. I printed out the responses to the survey for the Christmas event. All the paperwork is in the hands of the clerk. Whew. Glad to be done with that stressor.

Then last night I sent the survey results to the event organizer. So the Chamber has the results, the organizer has the results. And they are not all wonderful. Perhaps I mentioned there was one that's a little snarky. Now it's up to the powers that be to deal with that, or not.

I saw yesterday that the fireworks stand is up and running. Great. Fireworks tomorrow night for sure. But at least it's only a night, perhaps two to deal with the constant bombing. Not like the 4th of July where it's two weeks of insanity.

So I think I will just sit here and look out my window at the snow falling gently. I have nowhere to go, so I don't have to worry about driving. But then I grew up in NE Ohio in the snow belt. It's the other people I worry about.

No wind to blow the snow about, just a nice white blanket. Lovely.
