This morning we've had our first accumulating snow of the season. Andrew and I have discussed how different winter will be here because for both of us, we've lived our entire lives in town. For the last ten years, we've been right downtown, and in my entire life I've always lived within about three blocks of the downtown business district. So, a little neighborhood in the country is a different feel for us in every way, and winter is no exception. We've discussed that when there are really bad storms forecasted we actually have to prepare. Our road will NOT be the first one plowed and if our power goes out, we will NOT be among the first restored.
But our neighborhood is also a very quiet, wooded community. I have two large windows, one in the living room facing the front, and one in the family room facing the back yard and the wooded area. While this snow is accumulating, it's also very light and early enough in the season that it didn't stick to the roads (at least this far south). So we have a gorgeous view of untouched winter wonderland. I truly had no idea how beautiful it was going to be on the trees. It is breathtaking!
