Definitely not in Texas anymore!

It snowed today!

It snowed today!

Real snow! Falling from the sky in beautiful white flakes. Oh, it was gorgeous. And I walked home with snow falling all around me, landing gently on my head and swirling in the air. So awesome.

I've missed this.

Living here I feel like I'm rediscovering all kinds of things we didn't really have in Texas.

The first was, of course, fall. Seeing the leaves change colors and be beautiful and vibrant, and feeling the crisp fall air and being able to savor the change in season.

And now, the first snowfall of the year. They say it doesn't snow much here-- that we'll get an occasional snowfall that doesn't hang around for very long-- but it still does snow! Yippee!

  4. Heh, yeah, the first snow is always exciting. You'll be cursing it along with the rest of us by January, you know. Then you'll start reminiscing those snow free days of Texas! :D

    I am glad R will get to grow up with it. I have fond memories of snowball fights and snowmen.

  5. Haha, I agree with Vanessa above. Snow is wonderful for kids. I used to love it. Not so much after I became old enough to drive in it and shovel it.

    Enjoying the sunshine in TX,Amy T. :-)
