This morning I awoke to the radio saying it was a freezing 30 degrees outside. Since the heat had been on in my little apartment, I was quite toasty and was desperately trying to pull myself out of bed and wake up enough to get the day rolling. Eventually making it to the bathroom, I turned on the warm water and stepped into the shower. Upon stepping out, many minutes later, I was greeted by a groggy half asleep doggie. After greeting Karza with a good morning, I slowly got dressed. 
When I stepped outside, to take Karza for our morning stroll around the block, I realized it was not that bad. I must have been layered appropriately. Then, the white blanket of frost caught my eye and I was mesmerized by how beautiful it was. The frost was lying pretty thick, covering just about everything that was standing still. I had run back instide and capture the moment. The white crystals sparkled effortlessly in the morning sun and I was sad to think they would soon be gone. However, it was exciting to think it may snow. I might be able to see snow..... finally! It made me realize how much I can't wait.In addition to reading the book by Arlene Blum, seeing the beautiful fall leaves, and hiking up a small mountain in Hot Springs, and now I may get to see snow too... all in one year... it's so exciting.
I can't wait make my first snowball!
