On Valentine's Day there was snow. It was my
first snow event. The humans rolled the snow into big balls. I don't quite
understand that . . . I like snow in the yard where it belongs.

When I woke up today my yard was white. I rushed right
outside, though I was a bit tentative at first. That lasted about a second, then
I was ready to explore.

Here I am across the lane in my bunny
field. The field looks so big when it's white. Wonder where the bunnies are
hiding.

OK, I'm still a little shocked about this event.

Yes, you should take off my leash. Stop
discussing it and just let me go.

It's practically a blizzard! Finally . . . I'm off-leash because they think that I'll be
track-able today. Anyway, I'm not going anywhere. All the action is right here
-- all my neighbors are here to watch me. Me, me, me. I'm across the lane at
Wilson's home. Wilson is not outside in the snow, but I am. Petey's people are
here, but Petey is warm inside. There's Chopper's home. He could be out
here and we'd never even notice because Chopper is white as snow. I'll help with
that snowman in a while . . . but I think that I can catch a snowflake if I
stand here long enough.

Here I am at Wilson's house . . . I'm about to pounce on
something moving in the snow. On the right I'm back in my own yard, helping my
people bite the snow.

There's movement everywhere. I'm on alert. The snow is getting
deeper. Don't make me go in and get warm. I can be warm later.

Well I had to go inside by the fire while my sweater was
dried. They could have just put me in any of the dozens of sweaters I own . . .
but nooooo. I had to wait for my pink sweater to dry. It matters not. I'm back
in the snow.

That wouldn't be a mouse down there, would it? Probably not.
But I'll root around to be certain.

This snow stuff just keeps falling. And that lady keeps
chasing me with the camera. Give it up, lady. Go fetch lattés
for us. Maybe some warm Bailey's. Mmmm.

You're kidding, right? What a waste of a
perfectly good carrot.
Oh, and because I know that you're curious . . . no, Nut-Meg never even left her
chair.
