Snuggled Today

We had snow flurries today! I couldn't believe it, nor could Doodles the cat. He cried and ran to the door to return indoors. Fortunately, it turned to rain, but Doodles cried when he insisted on going out and got wet. Again, he wanted in! So we turned on the gas fireplace. I curled up on the couch next to my husband. He can still snuggle, thank goodness. Doodles snuggled in his bucket, nearby. Eventually, I went to our bedroom, turned on the fireplace, wrapped up in a soft throw, and read for a few hours. I love days like these, and being retired allows for them. Yahoo! It will be sunny and beautiful on Halloween for our trick or treaters. The photo is of my older son taking a snooze with our precious grandson and one of his two pupsters, our protective grand doggies.

We had flurries too. It was supposed to turn to rain, but hasn't done so. The ground has a light white cover now. It was peaceful to watch the snow travel gracefully to the ground. Now I will be happy to see it go!

It didn't accumulate at all. I was hoping to never see snow again, ever! Lol!

We've had some snow in the last few days. More like flurries. I didn't notice any of it, but I do know some people have noticed. Thankfully it's rained more than anything else. I'm so not ready for snow.

@DianneN I do envy you. I'd love to be able to go south for the winter, but unfortunately my life doesn't quite permit me to do that right now. I really hate the cold we get.

Snow flurries? Oh gosh, we are just barely getting any showers - barely! Enjoy those snuggle days - we only get them Sundays - and that's a maybe. The photo is too cute!!

After a sunny weekend and a beautiful warm day, it is pouring out! I'd send some your way, but we need the rain desperately!

@DianneN I think they have performances all year long... But it does seem like there are more during the first half of the year...

Handsome son, gorgeous dog. Can't really see your grandson very well, but they do look totally comfortable. Sorry you had snowflakes. We haven't had any yet I need to get out my snowflake necklace and encourage the weather a little bit in my favor.

@DianneN You could be in for an interesting November before you get down to Florida and can finally shed the winter clothes and say hi to Orville.

@DianneN - We as human beings always desire for those things, which we do not get. It is a human nature.

The weather is not too bad here, the temperature was up the last couple of days, but in the evening I like to stay near the fireplace to read a book. I love those days.

@DianneN I am reading "The Bazaar of Bad Dreams" by Stephen King, it's a series of novels, pretty weird.

It was too warm today for the fireplace, but turned it on in the late afternoon when it began to rain. There is nothing better. Are you reading anything great???

@DianneN I guess you could turn the A/C up a bit and see if that works

One of the best parts of being retired is that you can change your plans when the weather doesn't cooperate. Working people often cannot. Cute photo of your son and grandson.

It is better being retired than not, and having steady income! Thank you!

@DianneN Yes. Our country should be set up so that a portion of everyone's income goes into their own personal retirement fund. No one should have to retire without a pension.

What a relaxing photo! Made me miss Ireland. It rained often times there and very cold but gladfully the turf fireplace was very comforting to us.
