The first "real" snowfall of the season finally came this weekend.
It was exciting for a number of reasons:
1) As it fell softly, shimmering and glittering in the moonlight;
2) I got to break out my snow shovel, which I had bought last year but had yet to use;
3) The fresh snow crunched under my boots to and from Saturday morning's trip to Trader Joe's;
and more...
The main thing was that I got out and enjoyed it. Call me crazy, but shoveling the driveway was actually fun - probably because it was still the light and fluffy snow. And, while my face felt like it might freeze right off, my run on Saturday morning with my sister was invigorating and surprisingly enjoyable.
It's cold, that's true. But the snow in all its white purity is making it bearable and better. Winter feels like it's finally here!
