It rained all night — more like poured all night. I got up at 7:00 and watched the rain turn to snow. By 8:03 the snow was coming down so hard that Puck was almost whited out by it. I had planned to get up at 3:00 to turn the irrigation water in, but I didn’t feel much need to go out in a downpour at three in the morning — besides, I doubt the porcupine would be out in the rain.

The last photo is Stretch hiding behind the blinds in hopes that I would not find him.
