SNOW!!!

Woke up to SNOW this morning! First snowfall of winter 2013/14. Huge lazy flakes, and LOTS of them, drifting slowly down to blanket the trees and ground. It is absolutely gorgeous and I couldnt stop a long slow sigh as I wrapped myself in my fuzzy robe, while gazing out my bedroom window. Ahhhh, contentment.

THIS is what I've missed, well partly, what Corey has missed soooo much the past almost decade living in southern California. Call me crazy! The one thing, however, I don't relish is the thought of pulling my car out into traffic on todays snowy roads, in fact I cancelled plans I had for this morning that required I drive in it. I'll see how the day goes, it could easily all melt and be gone by mid afternoon.

But sitting here, with my morning coffee, watching the snow fall on a cold winters day in the Inland Northwest, things couldn't be sweeter.

"Winter is the time for comfort, for good food and warmth, for the touch of a friendly hand and for a talk beside the fire: it is the time for home." ~ Edith Sitwell
