The First Flakes of Winter

It has been pretty chilly on the Hilltop since about Thanksgiving. But I guess the only good thing this semi-southern girl can say about living in the northwest corner of Connecticut...is that at least from the time the first snowflakes fall, the ground is always covered with at least some snow.

Since there hasn't been more than a couple of inches on the ground, Tripper really hasn't seemed to notice. Unlike when Rockey was a puppy and her first snow accumulated to over a foot (she was only 5 months or so and had to follow in Casey's footsteps in order to get anywhere.So we'll continue to wait until a big storm blows through. I'm sure our always hot little man will love it as much as the others do.
