The First Snow

Is there anything more beautiful than the first snow?
I love the quiet hush and the brightness in the night.I love the squeels of delight as the children look out the dark window to see what's accumulated while sleeping. I've very grateful that Lane put the studded tires on my van for our family home activity!

The snow led to a long conversation about seasons, cold, and if I were to move would I miss winter weather? You know, winter weaather isn't what it used to be. My memory is never the best source of refrence but as I recall, we almost always had snow! And lots of it!! I love snow.

I don't love cold, really cold. it's snowing, it isn't bitter cold! I think that's the difference. Winter is supposed to be snow and all the activities that accompany it! The bitter cold is just miserable. It means poor air quality, too cold to go for a walk, too cold to play. Brrr! Even as it is, I'll endure these drier winters because I love spring!!!! Spring makes me absolutely giddy! I love to see the buds on the trees, the bulbs peek through the ground. Spring is just glorious!
