Snow! Finally!

Yesterday it was snowing for the first time this Winter. The area around Vienna usually does not get any close to the tons of snow that the Tirol or Styria usually get, but no snow at all until February is not the norm. So everybody waited for the white fluff, even though when it is finally there we are not so happy usually because public transport does not run on time, roads are blocked - well, the usual that happens in an area that is not really fit for Winter outbreaks. But still we always wait and enjoy the first snow when it is finally there!

 
Who would have guessed that Indy loves the white stuff? He would stay outside for hours and he does not understand at all why everybody else runs inside after a while, waving from the windows telling him to get lost with his balli.

This is one of the corners where we sit in Summer, hiding under the trees from the blazing sun, eat and drink and chat. Now there is silence. Funny...

Of course all the snow has to be shoveled off the terrace, the front yard, the garage area.... Some nice workout that spares you the fitness centre. And it takes a real man to do it! But when the going gets tough, the tough get going...

Dessa could not care less about the snow. She only shuffles outside when mommy is strictly telling her to do so because some things need to be done. Where are the golden puppy days when she was racing around in the snow, full of energy, ready to discover all the good life! Now her vision of a happy life is lots of food and a warm bed. Oh well, just like my vision actually.

Today it has stopped snowing and the sun is out, weather forecast says that all will be melting away within the next couple of days. That probably was it for this year. But we definately had a great day yesterday! And Indy is still waiting for somebody to throw his balli....
