    We finally had our first snow yesterday! It was more of a slushy, mushy mess, but we were all smiles anyway. My youngest (dd4) has been jumping out of bed for weeks to check outside and see if winter came overnight, so she’s the happiest of all, I think.

    It all melted, but it won’t be long now before it sticks. Plus we’re happy the bears are almost denned up for the season. Much more fun to do nature study with no bears to worry about! Smile

    Blessings all!

    Blech!  LOL  Where are you?  Please say it’s not headed my way……  😉  My 8yo can’t wait for winter, either.  <sigh>

    We’re in southeast Alaska, and it seems like the snow’s late this year. Some years we have measurable amounts on Oct 2 (my g-ma’s b-day, easy 4 me 2 to remember), but this year is late. It’s a rare year that we don’t have treat-or-treaters in snowsuits over their costumes.

    I’m in Wisconsin.  It’s nice to hear you so cheery about the snow.  My kids are the same way, but I feel a slight amount of dread this year.  A big part is that my husband commutes and I worry about icey conditions all winter long.  I shouldn’t worry, but I do.  I will say that the first few snows are so amazingly beautiful, though.  I need to focus on the good.

    Snow….snow….snow….snow….snow!  Yes, I’m singing the dining car song from White Christmas.  However, I am not planning on dreaming of snow.  And I will likely be the one to have to plow 8 or 10 inches of ‘partly cloudy’ from our driveway this year.  Not really complaining, though, because we are blessed to have a snowblower….although I think it is a bit older.  I’d better start praying for our snowblower….

    My son keeps asking when it will snow.  It hasn’t snowed in New Orleans in 7 years. 🙁   We can’t wait to move North and have seasons again. 🙂

    OK enough of the swear words! S–w is a swear word up here. Especially when you don’t have all the outside work done yet. 🙂 Tehe he….

    Oh, my!  You mean I used a 4-letter word EIGHT TIMES in my earlier post?!!!  :-O surprise  I do apologize….and I will wash my mouth out with soap.

    Oops, we’re fresh out of bar soap, so I guess I’ll have to use some good old Ivory SNOW….=)) rolling on the floor
