Unexpected snowfall last night, only a few inches, but apparently a precursor for the 7 to 10 inches we're expected to get this weekend. The dogs are unsurprisingly the only animals which are delighted by this development; flock and herd spend the day hanging out by the barn, loudly announcing their displeasure, much to the delight of the neighbors. Days like this, the circus turns into a symphony with a three part chorus of hungry voices.
