The snow was falling one night last week--right before Christmas. And it was that magical kind of snow--one that is huge flakes and quick accumulation. Hobbes couldn't stand himself and demanded that I let him out in the dark, which is something I don't typically do. He just wanted to be out in that snow for some reason, so I opened the door tentatively. Out he shot to romp in the gloriously white world--like a child in the first snow of the winter.
He wasn't out for long, but he did manage to check the pond while wrastling some snowflakes for good measure. It's uncanny his ability to remind me how lovely this earth is sometimes.

Oh the wonder of new falling snow. Everyone's got to love it. Vanilla is correct.
Helene, now you have the Antoine Dodson mix stuck in my head.
My cats detest snow so no footy prints for them. Beautiful photo.
What an amazing picture! And I guess having cats is like having children...they really never lose the magic in the eyes for things like this. So great to see!
Sorry, Lifeshighway! :-) We're all cooled up or whatever that was, thanks to Lin-but at what price?? :-) Just call me the Antoine fact finder-everywhere I go now I find stuff unwillingly.
He's cute tromping through the snow. I like the big fluffy kind too!
Awww...!
Leave it to Hobbes to point out lifes little treasures
I love that photo of Hobbes! He is one of the reasons this earth is so wonderful!
What a truly magical picture, and my goodness Hobbes, what big feet you have!
Hobbes sure looks like he is enjoying himself in all that snow!!

Highway--Wait. I'm putting the BEST YouTube link EVER on my blog tomorrow. :)

He is such a beautiful boycat. The major made me type that.
Talking about our beautiful world. Tonight while going for an evening walk quess what I saw! You're not going to believe this, but a great big frog was sitting there waiting for a bug to come by.
Yes it was that warm.
I bet Hobbes little paws were very cold when he came in ~ but look how much fun he had! :)
xo Catherine
I have to say I'm impressed with Hobbes' adventurous spirit. Does he want to go out into the snow again after the first snowshoe experience?
