White, Snowy Beauty



I think we've all had an opportunity to be in the mountains on vacation in winter and experience the snow. But nothing compares to that when you wake up in your own bed to look out the window and everything is covered in a blanket of white powder. And what's even more interesting is the first time you have to shovel snow to get to your car, and shovel the driveway so you can get your car out. The city doesn't plow residential streets, so for the first time you have to drive, correction- idle, down the street so as not to lose control.


That was our experience this morning. I actually had to wake up Matt and suggest he get up so he had time to shovel snow. And I'm in awe at the beauty of fresh, undisturbed snow. There's something so innocent and peaceful about it. And they way it gently touches your face as it's falling (so much better than rain)...and I look out into our backyard and see a little bunny sitting in the snow, and his trail of footprints. It's a different world!! It's been snowing for nearly 36 hours, and we've probably gotten at least 12 inches.

First Snow

Last Friday, the 14th, we woke up to snow on the ground!! It wasn't very much, just a little dusting. But, never had I experienced that before, unless I was in Big Bear. I can't wait for the first time we wake up to everything blanketed in snow! How exciting!!
