The Change of Season is Finally Here!
Yea it's gettin cold and it's not that I don't enjoy a nice winter season as much as the next person (Kristen!), it's just that it lasts waaaaayyyy tooooo looooonnnngggg here. It kinda goes like this:
November: Just a few dustings of snow from time to time and not bitterly cold yet. The crisp air is the first hint that the Christmas Season is soon upon us. I love Christmas!
Hunting for our 2010 Christmas Tree.
December: YAY! A white Christmas. Who doesn't want that?!? Growing up in Central California that was something you see only on TV. On a white snowy morning our little family gathers around the tree and watch MJ open all his presents. So much fun!
Christmas 2010!
January: Sledding! How many trips to Mt Rose can we take this season? LOTS!
February: OMG! We can still sled won't that be fun! It's getting really cold, but there is so much we can do and MJ is having a great time and so are we.
March: Still snowing, but that just means I can still make soups w/homemade breads and sip some hot tea as I watch the snow fall gently on the ground. Kinda hoping there would be a sunny day in our near future, but it's okay. Love layering clothes, it's so comfy n cozy.
Here are a few pics of our first snow for the 2011-2012 snow season.
April: Really? It's still snowing? I thought it would be more of a rain season w/ hints of sunshine. MJ and I are now suffering from Cabin Fever. I can't get warm because it's so bitterly cold, I can't feel my fingers and the chill has gone all the way to my bones. I am just hoping I have another days worth of patients for MJ's insane energy. By this time I hate going anywhere, because I know it's still freakin cold outside, the soft gentle snow is replaced by hardened dirt packed gray filth and MJ wants to play in it.
May: WTF!!! REALLY!?!?!? It's still SNOWING! SON-OF-A-BIT$@(#*&!
June: Oh look sunshine:) All is right with the world and I will survive another winter in Spanish Springs! CRAP, it's getting hot!
Okay first of Thank You!!! Last year I took down our Christmas tree down on Christmas day because it was in the 60's and I was so disgusted. So yes there is snow, but we do get LOTS of sunshine and like you said wearing layers and sipping tea is just EVER so pleasant :) I'll take you tanning in May to help you find warmth to survive til June!!!
