First Snow....nice!

Ok, so...the truth be known...I LOVE winter. Well, most days of winter I love it. I don't love frozen water troughs...and the driving winds with low temperatures...but I LOVE snow. Last night we got our first snow. In my opinion, it was a "perfect" first snow. Just about an inch, just enough to make everything glisten and not make the early morning chores tough. It started last night....after midnight, so yes, I stayed up late to capture it. The winds were blowing pretty hard....

Caesar wasn't sure what was going on...he ran outside and barked at it! Silly dog...this is his first snow...

This morning it was so beautiful...just a little bit of a "dusting" really....

The first snow ALWAYS gets me in the "holiday mood" We really do go overboard a bit on the decorations, or at least thats what "some people" say...LOL I say, we have just enough, and there is always room for more. So in anticipation of yesterdays snow, I decided to start with the Holiday decorations....We put up 2 Christmas trees...one in the family room downstairs, and one in the living room. I couldn't help myself...I just HAD to get the one in the family room up...Yes, I am a big kid when it comes to the snow and holidays...

Now I have it started...and I am giddy with holiday spirit. Bring on the soups....stews...lights...and yes, the snow!!
