It snowed! And not just one snowflake either.......... In fact, I built my first snowman in years.

I'd had snow envy for days; tales of snowy walks and photos of snow-covered yards teased me as I looked out through the cold rain at my sodden, flooded yard.

But then last night, miracle of miracles, and with no warning or fanfare, the snow began to fall.

I guess greeting the white stuff with joy and giddiness is the true sign of a desert rat.
