Woke up this morning to snow. There’s just the lightest of dusting on the ground and other surfaces — just enough to be pretty and not enough to be dangerous for drivers. Not enough to build a snowman, either, but since I’m pretty well past the age of that, I guess that’s OK.

Of course we weren’t supposed to get much more than a dusting here anyway, so it’s nice that the weatherman predicted pretty accurately for a chance. Greenville was supposed to get moreĀ  than us but today is my day to work from home, so I don’t have to contend with Greenville traffic or it’s snow. I’ll listen as the day goes on to see how the weather forms up as I’m supposed to attend a kennel club meeting tonight — if it’s too bad or road conditions aren’t good, I’ll forswear that too.

BisonWe went Saturday to Anderson and exchanged the camera Ken bought me the weekend before. The first camera just took terrible pictures — very blurry and full of camera noise. We exchanged it for the same model and thankfully this one takes GREAT quality photos! On the way home we stopped in Anderson where there’s a farm that has some bison or buffalo if you prefer. Asked the owner if she minded me taking photos of them and she graciously consented. The bison themselves appeared to be content with my snapping photos of them and there was a very friendly horse who seemed to want to help. She even trotted up to the top of a hill where she was outlined beautifully and posed just so — well, here — see for yourself!

Friday Ken is taking off to go to Charleston for the dog shows. Although our original plans had me going as well, I have to work again this Saturday, so he’s going by himself. He’s got 4 dogs to show which is going to be an issue, but we think we have it covered. I’ll let you know what happens.

Well, I reckon I really should get my mind focussed on work and writing in this blog sure isn’t getting that done!

Ya’ll take care now — stay warm and dry!

Love to all,

Margaret
