When I went to bed last night I was thinking about the forecast for snow, noting that it is November 6. The last time it snowed was May 2nd, when we got over a foot. If we have another winter like last year, we are looking at a full six months of snow season ahead of us. Six months.
It also means that we only had six months of spring/summer/fall before heading into another winter. It made my heart sink a bit. That wasn't long enough.
But this afternoon I took both kids out in the black sled and we walked around our property for a half an hour. The kids were delighted, my heart was pumping and the whole world was sparkling around me as the sun began to set.
And that's when I thought it: Winter, I am going to kick your butt so hard this year you will not know what has hit you. I have joined the Y. I have a daughter who begs to go outside and a son who loves the sled. I have a big window that fills my living room with light. And I am taking a multivitamin.
So bring it.

Beautiful! We missed the first snow, but you captured it!
I am so jealous of that snow!! I know you all probably got sick of having snow last year, but we hardly got any last winter. So seeing pics of the lovely stuff already just means I'm dying to get some soon! Haha...
Great pictures, Becca! Praying for a good winter for all of us northerners. It can certainly get long and be hard but we will survive! Your winters are beautiful, btw. :)
Wow! You got a lot more snow than we did. (I'm a little behind in my commenting.) Beautiful pictures!
