La Neige

Just starting to get slushy after lunch

I took my upstairs neighbors out to the CZ Ferraudiere this morning so they could do some computer shopping (Sophie) and look for an espresso machine (Susan).  As for me, I needed to go to Lidl for basic paper products.  So we decided to make a morning of it.  We hopped an early #1 bus and off we went.

After scouring the aisles of Gifi and Conforama and Plein Ciel, we stopped for lunch.  When I looked up--il neige.....it's snowing.  That was at about noon and it has been snowing steadily ever since.  There's an accumulation and everyone, or at least we three newcomers to Carcassonne, are beside ourselves with delight.  I am no great fan of the white stuff, but if I don't have to shovel or drive in it, I can appreciate its beauty.

So, we had a delightful outing, except for the fact that we never did get to Lidl, and I still need white vinegar and toilet paper.  But hey, I got some great photos of the snow.
