...delightful! I woke this morning to snow, just a light dusting and nothing close to what we had a couple of weeks ago. Its continued to fall all day, but the ground is too warm so it's not accumulating on anything but porches, cars and woodpiles. It's so beautiful! I was so fascinated and excited, I spent most of my day, not doing my research for my paper, as I planned (and should have been)... no, instead I was either staring out the windows watching it fall, or running around outside trying to take pictures of it, trying to capture it's beauty in digital format.
Do you know how hard it is to get a decent picture of falling snow?? To actually capture those little, or sometimes big flakes falling from the sky in a way that truly represents the way it looks with your eyes? Nearly impossible, I tell you. But I got a few.
:) See, look!
Here are some pictures I took from two weeks ago when I got "snowed in". Seriously. I got a call from my boss about 7am-ish that morning and he said I didn't have to go into work. He and our other boss still remember the nightmare of unexpected snow that Nashville got about four years ago, where six or seven inches fell in a very short time. They both spent between 5 and 8 hours trying to get home that day and aren't interested in doing that again any time soon. They'd rather stay at home and miss a day of work; which means those of us who work for them got to stay home too. Yippee!
Nashville just isn't made for snow. We aren't equipped to handle it, and we usually have a layer of ice hidden beneath the snow --which is treacherous on our windy, hilly, narrow roads. Its just not a place made for this white stuff. --- Anyway, I got a long weekend out of it, so I didn't complain.

I always take a picture of this woodpile... I don't know why

I know, I know. It was just last week I was whining about the cold weather, and begging for 80 degree temperatures. But I can't help it. I'm such a kid when it comes to snow. I love it!!
