Winter comes early

Woke up this morning and headed into the bathroom for my morning rituals. Suddenly I heard the urgent cries of dear husband, telling me to come out. Rolling my eyes thinking he needs to use the bathroom AGAIN (if he needed it so bad, why didn't he run for it like I did??), I told him he could enter but instead he opened the door and waited outside.

Wife: What? Come in then.
Husband: No, no. Look outside! Look outside!
Wife: What for?
Husband: Just look outside! Quick! It's snowing!!
Wife: (rushing to the window like a woman at a John Little sale) Where? Where?!

Thinking back, my reaction can be classified as a bimbo moment. I mean...where? where?!...one can pretty much guess that if there's snow, it would be generally....everywhere. Notwithstanding, we stared out the window in wonder as the snow fell, not just in little sprinkles. Some hard core snow flakes were making their way down to the ground in some serious mission to blanket it entirely. Did I make sense there? Possibly not...but it is barely 8 o'clock in the morning and I just woke up, my morning rituals disrupted and SNOW IN OCTOBER??! Heavy snow at that too!

I'm just so excited that there is snow and so much of it that I just want to run out and play with it. But I can't. I'm not even allowe dto go out and frolick a little. Cos I'm sick. Hai....So all I'm allowed to do by the dear husband is to walk him to work and go STRAIGHT home...and I HAVE to listen to him cos I don't want to fall sick when we go on our little trip to Stockholm this weekend. I'm already getting better, don't want to do anything to mess that up. Not even for snow.

But my cat has been thoroughly fascinated by the snow. The last time she saw snow, it wasn't that much and she was only a kitten so maybe she doesn't remember much? Are cats like us as in that way? Anyway, Sussie's been sitting by window, moving from window to window, trying to catch snow flakes through the glass. It's so funny to watch her that focused on watching the snow.

So here are some pics to show what I saw when I looked out my windows this morning. Oh and it's 0 degrees C this morning. Chilly!!

View from my kitchen out to our parking lot.

Snow covering EVERYTHING! And to think that just 2 days ago, those bushes still had roses on them.

View from my living room window. Apple tree looks sad and lonely out there in the snow.
