It snowed yesterday for the first time this season, this is a picture of it last night. There are only a couple inches of snow, which in this area of the world is nothing to get worried about. But it seems so magical to me…those first few times it snows. I love the different seasons…it changes things. No longer is my small wood burner a novelty (as it is in early fall) but a necessity to keep this old uninsulated house warm, and when traveling by bike you really have to consider things–dress, route, distance–before leaving the front door. None-the-less, I still find it beautiful and invigorating at first, unlike the harsh temperatures and heavy snows that often accompany January and February, which can just seem barren and bleak. I have to run some errands today and am looking forward to my first snowy ride of the season.

>Thanks Dan. Most of the snow has melted by now but we may be getting more tonight…and then it's get warm in a couple of days. It's always a roller coaster ride this time of year.
