16 October 2009 Photo: Weather Gone Wild

We got a dusting of snow in the wee hours of the morning. How do I know when it happened...I was up from 3:30 - 5:00 AM while it was snowing. It did no even cover all of the grass so I am not sure you can even count it as "the first snow" of the season. Either way, it is October 16th which is WAY TOO EARLY for this white stuff. So please go away. Actually the sun is already out and shining so hopefully it will be gone before too long!

Happy 2009! Here is the first photo of my photo a day blog taken on New Year's Day of my sweet Mona. There is over 9 inches of snow from the day before but today was a bright sunny day and VERY cold. Mona braved it to be my subject for my first photo! She loves the snow, although she does come in a bit quicker these days as she is getting older and doesn't like the cold quite as much. She will be 9 (or 63 in dogs years) in February. I still remember the day I picked her up from the Farmers Market in Ithaca. Went down to get some produce and found this tiny 2 month old pup in the back of a pickup truck looking for a new home. She has been a faithful companion ever since.
