I"m not ready for this!

They did talk about it on the news,and when we woke up the lower hills across the way were looking a bit white..... Then as I was reading my emails and blogs I looked up and glanced out my window to...

Yep, it's snowing here!  Started off with medium sized flakes which have now turned into BIG flakes and they are sticking to the tree branches and everywhere else.

I'm sure it won't last long, but we can count this as officially our first day of snow for this season.

I loved LOVED snow as a child and couldn't wait to go out and play in it for hours on end. I wish I still felt that way about it. I still enjoy it and think it is beautiful when it is fresh and that pure white color. BUT (you knew there would be a but in there) my body does not like it. I just don't do cold and wet any more, at least happily. I had not realized how much the temp and sun - or lack of - affected my health until we spent those four years in Arizona. Yes, it got beastly hot, but my body felt so much better even on those hottest days than it does in this colder, damper weather.

Then I look up and out the window and see those soft fluffy flakes falling gently to the earth. It is beautiful. Guess I'll just have to put on an extra layer, bring out another quilt and drink lots of hot beverages today.

This is the day the Lord has made,

I WILL rejoice and be glad in int!
