Let it snow, let it snow, let it snow!


Last weekend we had the first snow of the season here. Although today is bright and sunny with a temperature late in the afternoon of 40, we had several days of rain followed by intermittent snow and cloudy days. The snow was the nice kind--pretty first thing in the morning (when I took these photos) and mostly gone by the end of the day. 
Since we appreciate all moisture, the rain and snow were a welcome change but it was great to see the sun again!
This is our first full year here so we're still learning about the seasons and the weather. So far we haven't had a hugh surprises. This summer was one of the hottest in history in Phoenix and we certainly had our share of too warm days. But so far winter's been pleasant with rain or snow once in a while and temperatures cool enough to pull out the sweaters and warm hats but not bitterly so. How's the weather were you are? Want a change? Our guest bedroom is looking for some company. We'll be here throughout the holiday season so . . .

I hope you had a wonderful Holiday season. I've given up on "The 12 days of Yule" and trying to give my children a gift every day. I think maybe we'll open half on Yule, and the rest on Christmas. The pain of children's dissapointment will be much shorter then. or maybe, the joy will be greater.

It would still be really wonderful to come out and see you. We TRIED to fit a leg of our vacation out your way, but it just wouldn't fit!
