This is the scene I woke up to this morning. Even though I don't run right outside to tromp through the snowdrifts or build a snowman like I did when I was a kid, the first snowfall of the season is still one of the best days of the year. I love waking up in the morning and finding the world all covered in white—it's calm and peaceful and a little bit magical. It means that skiing and sledding and snowshoeing aren't far away. It means that I get to turn on my fireplace and snuggle up with a blanket, a good book, and a cup of hot chocolate. And it means that the best time of the year, Thanksgiving and Christmas, is just around the corner. Let it snow! (By the way, I did tromp through enough snow to rescue my poor little tree from dying under the weight of all that snow after I took the picture.)

Looks beautiful... However, I think I am even happier here in Cali with my toes in the sand, instead of the snow! 79 degrees today with an ocean breeze! Hee Hee Hee! -sorry I couldn't help myself!
You are welcome to enjoy and keep the snow there! It was a little warm for October today and yesterday. It was almost 80. I still need time to enjoy my lovely fall here! I think we are getting something from there as rain is in the forcast and our temps will go back to normal fall weather. :) Love the picture though.
