My First Snow


Well, friends, I have survived my first snow in Michigan! Last week, our temperatures dropped to 5 degrees with a wind chill of 15 below zero. That's quite a change for this Mississippi girl! We only had a few inches of snow, but it was beautiful! To my surprise, I discovered that I loved it. I could sit at my window and watch it for hours. I didn't even mind driving in it, although I don't think I drove faster than about 25 mph for about a week. My office is in the building pictured here.

Hi Daff! So glad that you are liking your new workplace and new home! I bet it is a real big change for you.. The snow is so beautiful to see and watch. I always loved to watch it fall and then just look at it sparkling all over one's yard..trees, etc.. It seems to sparkle just like beautiful diamonds! We normally don't get a whole lot of snow here in Oklahoma, and what little we do get doesn't usually last but only a few days or so.. Now when I lived back in my home state of Pennsylvania... we always would get lots and lots of snow this time of year... Made it so nice for sledding and skiing, and building snowmen in one's yard! :) Not a whole lot of fun to be out driving in though.. especially if the roads and highways were bad..

I agree with Punky...that it was really good to see a new post from you on your blog...
I'm another friend who misses you too Daff!!
Take care..

~Blessings,
