Dusk, Snow, and String Lights in Truckee

Walked over to Craft & Logic around dusk. The patio heaters were going and the wreaths are up in the windows, and there was a decent crowd inside for a Sunday in December. The picnic tables outside were empty — cold enough that everyone had crammed in around the bar.

On the way back I cut past the old house on the corner, the one with the wraparound porch. Someone has strung lights along the whole railing this year, the full length of it. There's a thin layer of snow left on the roof from last week but the lot below is mostly bare and wet.

A sliver of moon was up over the ridge before it was even fully dark. Cars still had their headlights off on the highway, that in-between stretch.
