November 13, 2010
Well, it's now undeniable. Uninevitable. Un....summer? Yes, here in the land of 10,000 lakes we can't escape from the white stuff. But... who would want to? At least, not yet. The first snow fall is so beautiful, so surreal. The way it sticks to the trees making them beautiful dark extensions outlined in white. And the kids... oh how the kids LOVE the first snowfall. They wake up early, run to the window and hollar, "Mom, mom! It's snowing out!" Their eyes light up and their smile is from cheek to cheek. I remind them they need to eat breakfast before going outside. Before you can blink an eye, the empty cereal bowl is going in the dishwasher and snow gear is flying left and right. Boots, hats, mittens, scarves, snowpants... all were ready a day or two before in anticipation of this glorious moment. It's probably the one and only time of the winter that I DON"T have to ask if they would shovel the sidewalk-- they just do it on their own because they are so excited.
The snow is still coming down... going to enjoy this while it lasts.
