it snowed today! it reminded me of the days when i was little and it seemed to just dump buckets of snow. today was no blizzard by any stretch, but beautiful big flakes definitely brought me back. it's so easy to get reminiscent when i go home. on top of it...Christmas simply implies snow. the northwest is gorgeous and green but winter still means snow, cold, and ice to me. so to have snow a couple days before Christmas was great. when i was a kid i would dig snow forts in the front yard and make snow angels. maybe over the weekend there will be enough snow to build a fort. for tonight it's just a relaxing night at home in front of the television.
it started out raining and so i thought i brought west coast rain with me back to the midwest. but it changed over to sleet and then snow. so with the snow today i decided to build the smallest ever snowperson and share it on my blog. if it snows enough i can dig out the snowblower for the driveway. at least it's not too cold; i haven't had to plug in my car yet!! thats one thing i haven't had to do out in portland. no nights cold enough to pull out the extention cord in oregon. no one seemed to understand why i had an electrical outlet hanging out of the front of my car. i've got about one more week here in the good city of mpls and then down to JAX to see the rest of the fam for new years. and then back home to oregon.
