two days in a row

We woke up to a bit of snow yesterday - after the sun came out it looked like this.

There's something of a natural crystal chandelier effect going on when you're close.



And a sugar frosted look from a little distance




That's about what our snows are usually like. We got the same treat today, but Cheryl doesn't have time to take Lu for a walk this morning. Lu likes to go up the neighbor's driveway (they have a long driveway and a series of spaced boulders he can travel along, hopping from one to the other). At the bend in their driveway was a small tree with these brilliant red clusters on the ends of the branches.
