On Wednesday we woke up to 2.5 inches of frozen, crusty snow, and a gale wind that whipped both trees and snow around like a carnival ride.
We had had no internet overnight and into the morning, so when it came back on I decided I might get this blog done, just in case future wind and climate issues took the connection away again.
We could call this story "Party on the Patio."
We have a local hotel that often has "party on the patio" themed nights, but this party is WAAAAY different. Instead of offering a cash bar, we offer a seed bar that tends to attract locals.

Bar peanuts are always a favorite.
Some dine alone and some dine in small groups.
Make no mistake, there are some swingers in the crowd.

And every once in a while, some cat who made the mistake of thinking it was Spring again and ran out of the house, even though we gave him our best advice on NOT doing that, crashes the party and decides he wants back in immediately.
Whether you tell your story with a series of photos (as done here with one theme), or one single photo, I hope you have a storied weekend, and that you will head to the blog circle to see more interpretations of this week's theme. Start with Jackie Petersen Pet Photography, serving pet lovers in Northern Utah. Jackie is a new blogger with the group, so welcome!
Side note: This blog is dedicated to my Mom, Celia Mueller, who passed away on Thursday, January 9th. She constantly encouraged her children to be who they wanted to be and do what they loved. Thanks Mom.
