Snow: living with and without it...

We are having an unseasonally warm winter so far, especially compared to the last few years here. We had a few days of great snowfall - showing delightful promise - then were hit with a truly warm streak and it all melted away. It has been in the 50s here, sunny, bright, blue and gorgeous. I didn't even wear a coat yesterday....in Ohio....in January?!!!? That is shocking and unbelievable. (For those who truly understand this, I salute you!)

Anyway, I dug up a couple of old pics of our first snow in all its splendor from last year to share ........unfortunately I forgot to take pics of this year's first snow (something I usually remember to do because I just love the beauty of the very first snow fall.)

You know, I wonder......when the snow does really hit us how much time will pass before I am bellyaching about spring'slate arrival? Ok, I admit it: perhaps I *am* a tad bit too hard to please, haha. But there is something to say about too much of any good thing quickly becoming a bad thing. That certainly includes the cold, wet, grey winter snow!

I really do love the  winter season with lots of powdery awesome snow to play in, for walks in, and for the sheet joy of making snow angels.

So when is the last time you made snow a angel?






Heading on over to join Debbie's newbie bloggers party!

    I live in Curacao but am visiting family in Maine right now. I am freezing but all anyone says is how unseasonably warm it is. :)
