Written for RDP, where sgeoil asks us
to get creative with the word “saunter”.
Thanks, Heather! Here’s where the prompt took me.
My groggy, half-awake husband thought he would just saunter out for the newspaper this morning as usual, but then he discovered we had gotten socked overnight by more than 2 feet of snow.
No news is good news?

Everything on The Elephant’s Trunk was created by me, unless otherwise indicated. If there’s something you’d like to use, ask me; if I think it’s appropriate, I will usually agree. Thanks for your consideration. NAR©2017-present.
The Elephant's Trunk 
I guess his $$ will go to paying the neighborhood kids to shovel your drive! 😀

Nope. Instead of snow, we are freezing our asses off this morning. Now that I think of it, usually it is warmer with snow. Oh well…

You are welcome. We were supposed to get hit with a big snow this weekend, but fortunately, it went around us. 🙂 We only got a dusting.
