"Sometimes dreaming is even better than making plans" says Houndsley, as he enjoys the quiet time brought about by a major snowstorm. At first, his friend Catina frets about being snowed in and missing the concert scheduled for that evening. But, as the snowfall continues, she begins to accept whatever the day brings - and appreciates the quiet and the chance to dream in this gentle reminder for everyone about the importance of taking time out.
