Today, October 17, 2006 we got the first snow! It's been snowing pretty steadily for the last several hours, but has only in the last half hour started to stick to the grass...no sticking to the other surfaces yet.
Today was also Fall Community Practice Day at Naropa (where I work). All classes were cancelled and offices closed. I took myself to breakfast in Boulder this morning and then sat (meditation) with the first year students from 9-10:30. I had to come home after that because Pokie's boyfriend was scheduled to come up for an afternoon visit, but because of the weather that got cancelled. I considered going back down to Boulder to do more sitting because I really wanted to, but I got stuck at the house...it is SO hard to leave a cozy home to drive 30+ minutes back to Boulder in crappy weather. This at least gave me the kick in the butt I needed to get myself on the cushion again.
I'd been pretty down on the coming winter, but seeing the snow...well, it is just so pretty :)
We picked another 2 cups of raspberries last night. The chickens have only been laying 3 eggs a day...this cold weather is hard on them!
