it's coming

First real snow today.  Melted by this evening, but this morning was a snowy morning.  Clouds, fluffy white stuff, cold air, the whole works.  Although I want the snow to hold off one more week until we finish some house chores, I think I'll be ready for winter this year.

I'll be ready for winter this year, although the fall has been amazing.  Cool mornings, warm evenings, beautiful leaves and the smell of cranberries,  The dog running through the leaf pile, the chickadees making dive bombs at the sunflower seeds in the bird feeders.

Winter is an excuse to snuggle down in front of a movie with the family.  Winter is a reason to make soup.  Winter is hot chocolate after sledding down the hill.  Winter is dinner in the crockpot and coming home to amazing smells.  Winter is northern lights and red wine, fires in the wood stove.

Every season brings something positive, something to look forward to.  And the change keeps us on our toes, not getting too comfortable.

Life is good here on the mountain.
