First snow est arrive!

No sun this morning, but the first snow fell. Not much snow, but for a three year old, enough to don snowsuit and boots, and run around in the backyard catching flakes on her tongue.

I was thinking about what event is looked forward to with as much anticipation and excitement by adults, and what (cynically) popped into my mind was the arrival of Beaujolais Nouveau. And, what do you know! Today is the third Thursday in November, and, thus, the very day on which that occurs each year. Last year the Georges Duboeuf was so cheap and tasty it became the house wine here until they ran out of it at the store.

Hard to believe I can even think about that right now, as we had a friend visit last night and got into a flock of wine. He was in town for the release party of his friend's new cd. You can listen to it here, and then go out and buy it. Why this woman is not a regular on WFUV is a mystery to me.

Well, at this point in the morning, the sun is out, the first snow is gone, and it's time for me to pick up that little girl at nursery school. She'll be disappointed, I fear. She was hoping to make a snowman this afternoon.

Her chance will come soon, I hope. Something to look forward to. Thanks for reading.
