I woke up to snow this morning and rushed outside in my new bathrobe with the Leica Monochrome. I’m so glad to have a monochrome again; it is old and used but in great shape. I will have a good time with the camera for the Winter Pasture, as the snow is great for monochrome.

Zip and I had our first-morning meeting in the snow. He was not bothered by it or anything else I know of.

Maria and I went out for breakfast and paid a deposit to the dental surgeon in Saratoga Springs – Dr. Killing – who will be doing the first surgery in the implant process. Sometime in the Spring, I’ll have all my teeth back in my mouth. Dr. Killing knows what he is doing.

Two were missing; one is back, and the second implant base is coming on February 15. There were a couple of inches of snow this morning; most of it melted already. But I got some nice photos while it was on the ground. In a few minutes, I’m heading to Subway to see Faith, the intellectually disabled high school student who is working at Subway as part of a pilot program to show that these children are capable of work.

Below, I posted the snow flurry and caught the sky opening after it. Climate change is scary; climate change is beautiful.

Fate is happy to run circles in the snow while the sheep ignore her and eat some hay.

The sky began to clear around 10 a.m.; the snow melted quickly. A little taste of things to come.

Zip and I visited St. Joseph; he is my saint of the weather.

Manure is manure and needs to get shoveled every day, sun or snow.
