Living in Le Marche Mountainside | First Snowfall

See on Scoop.it - Good Things From Italy - Le Cose Buone d’Italia



I realise that we are probably two months behind the Canadian Albons but we are now under a metre of snow up here in the mountains.

On the other hand, you can picture the smile on Georges face this morning when he woke up to the new snow covering the garden and he realised that the schoolbus was not going to make the hill. He has been out to start the snowman in between sessions though and had sufficient time to throw a snowball down my neck.

As for the animals, Ambrogio and the chickens are not that impressed with the snow as they are now stable bound once again. Ambrogio had a quick peek outside when we came up to do the stable, but it was only a small peek before he decided the straw bed might be more comfortable after all.

The chickens would probably have come out and got themselves covered given the choice but we decided against it. The cats seem to be more sensible and have retired into the house and are refusing to venture out again.

Meanwhile Ascoli seems to have missed it once again with our town friends wondering what all the fuss is about!!! […]
