First Snow
We had our first snow of the year yesterday…..SUCH as it was. Now it’s just what most people would consider cold and miserable. If you had something to do outside today to keep you moving, it actually wasn’t too bad if you could get out of the wind and didn’t have to get wet.
We didn’t actually get enough snow here at the house to say that we even GOT any, but it was a nice thought for awhile. Not getting enough snow to say we got some is actually NOT a new thing for us in Kansas. We’ve only had a couple of GOOD snows that actually stayed around for a couple of days a couple of different times since we moved here over a decade ago. Kind of miss the snows that we used to get when we lived closer to the West Coast when I was growing up!!! Yes, they were cold, and wet, and if you have 6 or 7 feet of it to try to work your way through, it WAS miserable at times….but I still miss it. I love being able to catch the scent of pine and cedar trees on the brisk, still Winter morning air. I love the way the brisk air feels….how alive it makes you realize you are when you breathe it or when you first step out into it and see your breath. I love that touch of warmth the sun teases you with some days when you KNOW it’s not even warm enough to melt the snow.
Someone asked me a question today that I told them I would have to get back to them on…..Where would you like to go? After being outside just before that, all I could think of was mountains and snow. Now is that bad or WHAT?
Oh well….enough babbling at you tonight. Blessings to all!!!
