An early start for the white stuff
Friday, November 6, 2009 at 5:07PM November 6 is pretty early for this kind of thing, but Mother Nature gave us this wake-up call today in Avon, Maine.
We don't let a bit of slush on the roads keep us at home, so here I am on my way to work. Got the coffee, the car keys, and the brush to clear snow off the windshield. Ready to go!
Of course the snow was mostly melted by the end of the day but it felt like an early warning of a very snowy winter.
Our granddaughters from Australia will be here in February and they've never played in the snow, so I'm hoping we have plenty of the white stuff for them.
Snow is so pretty and fresh at the beginning of the winter, but by February we're usually tired of it. This year I expect it will be pretty and fresh again for us in February when we see it for the first time through their eyes.

This is one of the most beautiful, heart-warming blogs I've read in a long time. The snow photos are awesome. The first one is so winter white it almost looks blue... Breathtaking...
And that redhead in the blue coat looks all set for the day. You mentioned taking all the gear, but forgot to mention the camera to take these great photos to share with us.
And the new photo of your grand-daughters, Nikau and Zoe, is absolutely gorgeous. Great big, innocent eyes... sigh.... They are getting to be young ladies; kids sure grow fast, don't they.
Thanks for sharing your first snow, Linda.
