AND MORE SNOW!

20 December 2009
Tomorrow is officially the first day of winter and we've already had two snow storms. This one was serious, though. I think we got 16 - 20 inches! I'm grateful to have a warm, comfortable home to snuggle into and my husband to keep me company.

FIRST SNOW IN ALMOST TWO YEARS!

Because of the timing of our sojourn in Brisbane, Australia, and because their seasons are opposite to ours - we experienced spring and summer 2008 in the U.S., then spring and summer (08-09) in Australia, then spring and summer back in the U.S. (09). So, we've had a bit of an adjustment to the cold fall and winter weather. The snow is beautiful, though . . . from the comfort of our living room. :-)
