First Snow?

today it snowed for the first time. it was beautiful, but bittersweet because i really wanted my first snow to be shared with pablo, who is actually out of the country currently. :( but, it's not cold enough for the snow to stick to the ground so i'm saying that we haven't had our first snow yet... hopefully it won't happen until sunday night when pablo gets back.

anyways, back it being beautiful, i have seen snow before, but i don't know that i have ever seen it fall. all i have to say is that individual snow flakes are as beautiful as little kids books make them out to be. they are absolutely enchanting.

so, i spent today (a random day that i had off from work) inside doing 3 loads of laundry, sewing my very own tree skirt (one of the fabrics being some of the leftover lace from my wedding dress), and sitting at my kitchen table looking out of the window at the snow flakes falling. it was a good day -- kind of lonely, but good.

i did have a delightful conversation with my dear friend emily engle -- it had been too long since i heard her voice. i had forgotten -- actually, that sounds awful, let's "say that it had not be at the forefront of my mind" -- how much i really do enjoy her. God really did give me a blessing by setting us up as roommates our freshman year.

well, i have made a lasagna, a salad and am starving so i shall leave you now.

i guess the winter is really here.... no turning back now.
