So, I know that unless you are a skiier, snow is generally frowned upon due to all the shoveling, de-icing, crazy drivers, snow tires, the list goes on. But I have to say that I have never minded the snow, in fact, I love it. There is much to love about the fluffy white stuff, but my favorite thing is that strange peaceful feeling I have after the snow is done falling and everything is clean and white and just breath takingly beautiful. It makes me think of heaven, all that white. This is my view of the valley from my back porch. The light was terrible so it doesn't do it justice, the whole valley is just a big blanket of white. So great.
Dead, brown trees that are naked from loosing their leaves are suddenly decorated and gorgeous. And the mountains, oh the mountains, brown and dry all summer long finally look like real mountains, winter is the only season that they take my breath away. I also love snow because we live in a desert people and we need the water! I love looking out the window in a snow storm and thinking, "now I have an excuse to just stay home in my flannel pjs and read". It's a pain to bundle Ethan up every time we have to go some where but that's ok, the cold is refreshing after a blazing hot summer. My favorite thing about Utah is the extreme weather we have in each season, it makes you look forward to the season to come. So, we finally got dumped on, we've gotten snow a few times so far, but this was finally the big one and it was awesome. The best part was the it dumped for most of the morning and then stopped for the rest of the day which left time for sledding and snowman building.
Taylor injured his knee sledding, I think we're probably off to the doctor's tomorrow to have it looked at, but he was more upset about having to leave his friends on the snowy hill who would continue to have fun without him. I bought Ethan the wardrobe, boots, snow bib, etc. but he was too nervous yesterday to play out in it, I'm hoping he will "warm" up to the fluffy white stuff soon. Ahhhh, snow.
