Blink and you'll miss it...

The bottle of suntan lotion has been covered by 6" of snow.

I can see the peacock blue cap poking out of the fluffy white blanket.

It's a reminder of warmer days gone by and more to come.

The weatherman didn't lie to me this time. We're going to get a lot of snow today.

Like a child, I had trouble sleeping last night.

My excitement bubbling to the surface kept waking me up.

Is it here?

Isn't it here yet?

My body would not settle down. I perched myself at various windows just waiting for the storm to arrive.

Finally exhausted, I drifted off the sleep.

I missed the first snowflakes and woke up to a winter wonderland.

I guess Old Man Winter can be sneaky like that.
