This morning I had to get up at 4:45…when I did, it was raining cats and dogs. When I left for work, 30 minutes later, the ground was covered in snow. It hasn’t stopped since! This is currently the view from my balcony:
BEAUTIFUL! I never fail to get excited about snow whether it’s a little bit that doesn’t even stick or more like what we’re getting today. I don’t know what it is about the blanket of white.
I love the juxtaposition of the white against the stark brown of the trees.
I’m pretty sure my excitement has something to do with the fact that I grew up in Africa and NEVER saw snow. In fact, my parents had to take us up into the mountains in Colorado one furlough so that we wouldn’t be TOTALLY ignorant. At my 10th (I think) birthday slumber party we got so excited in the morning when we woke up to snow that we went running outside in our flimsy nightgowns and bare feet. I’m a little more sensible these days…I’d prefer a hat, scarf, 3 shirts, a coat, warm pants, and boots.
Anyway, I’m going to curl up with a hot beverage, something chocolate, and a good book. The perfect thing for a cold, snowy day!
