First Snow!

This morning I woke up to our first true snow.  Yesterday morning, we had a light dusting, but not much.

 Backyard on Sunday morning 

The weatherman had predicted some snow flurries today, but I was surprised when I woke up to see a couple inches on the ground.  On top of that, it snowed all day today.  Luckily, the roads weren't too bad.  But, it is suppose to get cold and stay cold all day tomorrow so that will be interesting.

 The view from my bedroom window this morning!

 The pretty roads. Luckily they weren't bad at all

Playing in the snow

What I find interesting is how much of a big deal the snow is for everyone.  I mean the news is going crazy with "storm coverage".  But, it snows every year, so I don't really get what the big deal is.  I mean I know the snow is early, and we are expected to have a hard winter, but come on.  A couple inches isn't that  big of a deal.  

I have to admit, I do love it though.  It is fun living in a place where we actually have seasons.  And, having the snow makes it feel more wintery.  It is really pretty too to see everything covered in white and being able to bindle up and feel the crisp air.

Hobby Time

My mom recently told me that I need to do something besides lay around reading all day.  She recommended me finding a hobby.  I always liked being crafty.  I enjoy putting together scrapbooks and doing needle work.  However, even though I love scrapbooking, I have lost some motivation.  It's hard to want to put together a book of memories when right now isn't the best time of my life.  Don't get me wrong, there has been some great moments recently, but overall, I feel a constant turmoil that I don't necessarily want to remember.

Anyways, I decided that I do want to start doing something.  So, I decided to make frames with the recent 1/2 marathon events I have done so I can display them.  I thought it would be a fun way to display my accomplishments (and gave me a way to use the ugly green shirts they gave us). Here is what I have created:

I really like them and can't wait until I can find a good place to hang them in my house.  I am also going to try and scrapbook more as it is something I enjoy.
