Blizzard, part the first
We woke up with seven brand new inches of snow on the ground. We're expecting another foot or so tonight. The NWS issued a warning that ended like this: "This will be a very dangerous situation. If you leave the safety of indoors... you are putting your life at risk. Travel is not recommended tonight and Sunday."
Here's a path we dug in the back yard to the shed.
Here are some poor, dead, dried-up sunflowers that I never pulled up at the end of the summer (you might call it "lazy gardening" and I might call it "the natural beauty of dried plants"), bravely poking through the snow in the front yard.
One loner off to the side I wrapped up in a scarf I recently made, so it wouldn't feel too cold and lonely...
...though on second thought, it looks better on the birch tree.

I narrowly escaped being trapped in Dubuque by fleeing the advancing storm - any my conference! - a day early. As it was, my flight from Dubuque to O'Hare was cancelled yesterday, so I shared a partly-precipitious drive with another composer across upper Illinois to Chicago, from there to fly uneventfully across the lake to Grand Rapids.
HOME! Yay.
glad you made it home safe, animal.
