First Snow

It feels a bit surreal to see the first snow of the season.  It's still makes me smile and get a bit excited.  It's cool you know?  And these flakes were FAT.  Fat, wet and coming in buckets.  When I snapped these pictures it had just started, but now just barely an hour later the ground is already covered and suddenly it feels very much like Christmas.

 

I haven't decorated the inside of the house yet, but the outside lights are strung up and glowing warm and colorful outside my window.  We have those big, plump C9 bulbs.  Not the LED's either, the old fashioned ones.  The ones that will always remind me of being home.
