Silver Lining: the first snowstorm

November 11, 2012

the first snowstorm


We're in the middle of our first snow storm here. The first snowfall of the year always leaves me a little breathless. I guess I forget how beautiful and still and clean it is. Yesterday morning I could hardly sleep from excitement, so I got up early, put on some snuggly warm things, and headed out to take a few pictures. 




Also, a little shoutout: the men in my neighborhood are so great. They have races to see who can shovel the driveways of all the widows and elderly on my street. The 12-year-olds are all out early too, racing to shovel the front walks of the people on the street who tip for the service :) 


Anyone else getting snow this weekend?
And totally loving it?

  6. Those photos are GORGEOUS! I'm a little jealous of your snow. It'll probably be a while before we get any in Oklahoma. So beautiful and it's cute/thoughtful that they have races to see who can shovel snow the quickest.

  14. Love the pics, but did you see how many tree's broke because of the snow and all the leaves :( It made me so sad because we only have 1 lonely tree and it is now only half a tree.

    That is amazing with the 12 year olds and other men! They can come to my house too for the final lap of the race :)
