Today the first snow flakes of the season crept into town. It stuck up higher so we went to check it out. It surprised a few flowers that are still happy to be out. The heavy snow on the leaves of the fireweed (épilobes) and the alders (vernes) really made some interesting intricate designs that were worth admiring.
We roamed around in the clouds and got our feet a bit wet as we had to walk in the fresh crunch of snow! Ahhh, wonderful feeling! The frozen grasses on the hills of Savoleyeres were magical. I need to start polishing the snowshoes, but first I have to make pesto out of the basil I picked out of the garden in fear of it getting ruined from the cold. Yep, this snow surprises gardens too!
