Snow

Well, it finally snowed... It's true. I am actually amazed that we lasted so long without it! It was crazy how long it stayed dry. Well, there are some good things about snow: snowmen, snowball fights, there is something about being out in nature when it's covered in snow that is so peaceful, sledding, (skiing for those of you who do that), and my favorite, clear winter nights where the sky is so absolutely clear where the stars look so near that you can almost touch them. If it wasn't so durn cold, I could stay out there for hours just looking at the sky (oh and another great thing is one of my favorite constellations is out: Orion. I don't know why, but I've always liked him).

There are a lot of negatives associated with winter as well. BUT, I'm going to focus on the positives and hopefully I can make it through! I'll just remember that the Lord gave us winter so we can love summer. :) And trust me, after 5 months (sometimes 6) of the white stuff, we need lots of summer! Even if it means I have to say goodbye to my good friend Orion.
