SNOW

The first real snow of the year. I have mixed feelings about the first snow of the year. I'm excited because snow means...sledding, hot chocolate, snow boots, mittens, snow ball fights, Thanksgiving, Christmas, snow shoveling (I love shoveling snow.) I'm NOT excited because snow means...scary driving, freezing feet, and most of all because we will be seeing this white stuff off and on for the next 6 or 7 months!!

I wasn't ready for the first snow today. All summer I said I was going to make stew and oatmeal molasses rolls for dinner on the first snow of the year day. Not ready for that today. (That is okay, we are having dinner at Trevor's parents house today.) And I wasn't ready to clean my car off before driving to work at the insane hour of 6:30. My wonderful husband bundled up and went out to clean the car off for me before I left. Aw.

But this is my favorite kind of snow. The kind where nothing sticks to the road, but everything else looks white and pretty and new. So I will sit here and eat my maple brown sugar oatmeal with a banana sliced in and watch the snow out the window. And appreciate it. Even though I wasn't ready for it.
