The First Snowfall Winter 2021

 Mom and Karin slept in this morning. I took the golf cart over at 7:15 am and all the lights were out and the house quiet. After feeding the birds quietly off mom's balcony I headed home.  It started snowing around 9:00 am. Rizzy was having fun running around the yard in the snow.

 At 10:30 Joan, mom and I left for mom's doctor appointment. The roads were very slushy and snow covered so the drive took about 45 minutes.  That went well except they could not assure us that mom would be able to keep the hospital bed and wheel chair. That depends on her insurance company.  When it came time to leave mom's car wouldn't start. The battery was dead. Joan found a man in a truck that was willing to give us a jump and we drove straight to a repair shop. They checked out the battery discovered it was guaranteed for 2 years and was only a  year old and replaced it for free.  Below mom and I are waiting in the car while Joan helps the mechanic with the battery. 

By this time it was around 1:30 and we were all hungry for lunch.  We stopped at Arby's and all of us ordered a Greek gyro and ate it on the way back to the lake. Joan's kids made a small snowman on mom's balcony to welcome her home. 
I took these pictures and the video below before heading over to mom's at 10:25 am.

I had to include the stop sign for a little bit of color as everything else is in black and white today.
This first snowfall looks so fluffy and white.  
 As soon as I got home I needed to head up to the barn to start cleaning the apartment. The bedding was stripped and taken down to the house and the machines started then the garbage taken over to the dumpster before heading back up to the apartment to clean.  That was finished about the time Mark got home from work.  For supper tonight we had the last of the left over steaks.  About that time the apartment booked again. Three people will be moving in tomorrow for 2 nights. They will be leaving on Dec 31st and the next family is moving in on the 31st. I'm sure glad Anna has two sets of bedding for everything!
