Snowstorm Ava

The first real snowstorm of the year is supposed to arrive today and tomorrow. Snow has started, and wind is picking up. The birds gather around the feeders, stocking up for a long night.



Around 3 in the afternoon the cats are starting to decline the option of going outside one more time. The snow is a couple of inches deep and this may be the last time we see the lawn until spring.



I feel so disconnected from the yard at this time of the year. Most weekdays, I get up and leave for work before the sun is up, and arrive back home after sunset. An entire week can go by without my seeing much in full light.
