First snow


Our first snow of the season and the first since we adopted Zorro. We got about three inches in Berkeley Springs. What made it special was that it was a wet, heavy snow that coated the tree branches and transformed our yard into a giant doily.
Not surprisingly, Zorro loved it. He wanted to eat the snow, romp in the snow, bury his nose into the snow. The only problem occurred last night, when the sky cleared and the moon came up. The reflection from the snow made the moon brighter than usual, with predictable results. Even with the curtains closed, Zorro could see the moonlight, prompting an explosion of barking. He finally calmed down and went to sleep around midnight.
We took advantage of the wintry background to take photos of Zorro for our Christmas card. He was not thrilled to wear a Santa hat and we had a hard time getting him to stay still and look into the camera. There were too many other things in the snow that he wanted to see.
