And for a few glorious minutes today, it snowed. Flurries drifting through the air in the middle of the day — that’s a sight rarely seen here in Austin. Most of the time that it snows here, it sneaks in during the middle of the night or early morning.
I was at the gym, mourning my missing yoga pants — I’d left them at home in a rush to get to my spin class. So in cycling shorts I got to spin, take a yoga class, run an errand, and get lunch, all the while with people looking at me strangely that I’d be in shorts in such cold, cold weather. But as I headed back to my car, beautify wispy bits of white snow began to drift down. Watching them float through the air was mesmerizing. Soon there was enough that I had to turn on my windshield wipers to see the lane in front of me. And as I approached my subdivision and nice warm house, the snow faded away. Coincidence? I think not.
By the way, I also accidentally left my yoga mat at home. Guess what happened to it in a house with three dogs?
LOL I guess what happened to your Yoga mat with three dogs in the house would happen here, too. LOL I got a chuckle out of that. I know it’s not funny when it happens but I thought my knuckleheads were the only ones…..
Yay for your bravery even in the cold. I’ll bet the exercise felt superb even if the temperature did not. We, of course, have plenty of cold and tender plants do not survive, but last weekend I decided to haul in a hibiscus tree I wanted to overwinter in the garage. Calvin was out of town with Cam, so the 100+ lb pot made it inside with much pushing and pulling, but MY back is now a mess. Hard to do Christmas decorations when you cannot bend or reach!
The snow here was beautiful. Several inches stuck for a day or 2, but I missed most of it while inside at work.
The yoga mat would have been so much fun (for a few minutes) at my house too. xoxo, H.
