Unpredictable Northern Nevada weather did not let us down yesterday with a big drop in temperature and light snow flurries. Mom however cannot be deterred from her daily walks with the dog. I heard her leave for her afternoon walk while I was in the back bedroom office on the computer.

Mom often exits out the front door but for some reason returns from her walks through the back gate. The gate opens to the side of the house where the office window faces the pool. I heard her open the gate and looked out the window to see her walking past wearing some very interesting head-gear. It was pulled down over her head like a cap (to cover her ears). It was a purple and black striped garment with Chartreuse green piping and two  sleeves that stuck up from her head like little antennas. I of course instantly recognized it as Timmy’s (the dog) sweater!

I opened the window and joking said “Hey Mom what is that thing that you have on your head? I think it might be Timmy’s dog sweater.” Without missing a beat she walked past with the snow falling around her and said “Who cares, I think it might be warm.” ……Touche.
