snow monster storm skipped me ...

I am a snowball I guess. Even though my hands are mostly cold and I begin wearing mittens way back in early fall, I totally love the snow. Anytime there is promise of a huge amount of snowflakes I get all excited. It is like a party to me.

So on the first, quite fitting for the first day of December I might add, I was looking forward to the huge snow storm that had marched from Washington state, through the plains and the midwest. No, not looking forward to power outages and no heat ... that was a bit too extreme for me. I just wanted some snow, gentle and calm snowglobe snow! Well, this scary snow monster of a storm hit all the midwest but skipped right over my state! I will not complain too much because I am grateful for the lights, internet service, and yes, the heat most of all because from last thursday to yesturday, it had dropped 52 degrees! It takes a lot for a body to adjust. Ok, I will admit I was wearing leg warmers and an undershirt for extra layers. Gotta when you already had one cold too many this fall.

I did have a snow fest Sunday night and a nice surprise this morning with a nice cold dusting of snow. It is a good start. It isn't sticking but it is a perfect snow that won't get dirty.

Happy snow! Happy hot blueberry tea! Happy warm winter made bed with flannel sheets and a wool blanket hidden to keep the toes warm! Happy Christmas lights glowing on the tree! Happy Christmas wreath with mittens! Happy time of year!
