The ghosts of winter

It was yoga this morning and instead of the wonderful relaxing last ten minutes the fire alarm went off and we all had to quickly gather our mats, put on our winter gear and step out into the snow! I suspect it was a false alarm but we all headed home as it was too cold to hang about.  After lunch the snow started again and I almost decided against a walk - but then it stopped and i ventured out and am so glad i did. I just love newly fallen snow when it is still clinging to tree trunks and crunching underfoot. The dogs and I thoroughly enjoyed the fabulous wintry landscape which we had to ourselves, but I was always mindful of the keen wind which heralded the next snowstorm and managed to get us all home just as the first flakes started to fall.
