It started as big fluffy flakes.  I was leaving the grocery store after doing my shopping, and saw this big flake fall in front of me.  And then another one as I was unloading the groceries into the bed of the truck.

By the time I got home it was coming down pretty good.  I took Cerebus out into the park behind our house so that she could romp, and I could listen.  Cerebus in not your typical LabraDane.  She doesn’t like water.  If it is raining, she will run up your back to get back inside.  But give her some snow, and watch out.  She gets all playful and wants to romp.

And I just wanted to listen the sound of snow falling.

Rain makes a different sounds when it falls, depending on the amount of rain falling.

Snow makes the same sound no matter how much is coming down.  And it isn’t only the muffling of sound that it causes.  It has its own unique sound that it makes when it falls.

And that is the best that I can explain it.  You have to experience it on your own.   You have to stand in the middle of a snow storm, and listen to the sound that snow makes as it falls.

Namaste.

Sweeping, and more sweeping. You see, we have pets. With hair. And that hair tends to fall out. All of the time. In copious quantities.

The routine follows as such. Sweep the floor with a regular broom. Follow that with a swiffer. I love our swiffer. It does a wonderful job. Twice a day. You see, on my days off I sweep in the morning and then in the evening. And both days I pick up enough hair to make a small dog. Today I didn’t do my morning sweep, just the afternoon. I have enough hair to make a terrier.

Anyone want another pet?

Namaste.
