It’s snowing! A lot! The prediction is for 1-2 feet by tomorrow morning. The good news it the construction at the Inn is completed. Hurray! A couple of things to tweak but that’s it. I am so glad that the dumpster is gone, too. My, my, it’s starting to look like home again.  Everything at the Inn looks absolutely gorgeous. I think tomorrow I’ll take a few pictures for next year’s Christmas card.

      The temperature is starting to drop and I can hear the wind blowing. I think the storm is getting closer. RJ has a really nice fire going. I hate to go to bed when it’s so warm and cozy here in the living room. I have 8 guests tonight. I wonder if anyone will decide to stay for another night to avoid driving home in the storm. Wouldn’t that be the best? 

      While I was trimming the tree, my mind wandered back in time to when my kids were small. Tears welled up as I thought about everything my mother had missed. I put one of her glass Christmas bulbs on a branch and watch the bough bend. That ornament must have been at least 50 years old. I placed another one on the tree. Again the bough bent under the weight of the bulb. “Merry Christmas” spun around the bulb. How beautiful the red glittered letters looked as they reflected the white Christmas lights that adorned the tree!

      Outside the snow was gently falling in large fluffy snowflakes. On the porch, they glistened as they began to pile on one another. One inch, then two. Pushed the snow off the walkway and cleared a path. I wonder how long it will stay clear. By the time I finished the walkway, snow had already accumulated enough to cover my shovel tracks and my footprints. Humph! I could do this all evening and never keep it clear. I guess I’ll just call it a night and see what happens in the morning. Snow… and lots of it, I’m sure!
