The First Snow

Had our first snow this morning, well actually it was just a dusting, but it was still snow. I had decorated the tree yesterday, so it was kind of fitting. It did make it feel like it is really the Christmas season.

Speaking of the tree, so far the cats have been very good kitties and have left it alone at night. I hope it stays that way.

Back to the snow. To tell the truth, I'm not looking forward to the first real snowfall, but I would like a white Christmas. I mean, we've learned since we were youngins that you're supposed to want a white Christmas, right, and growing up in Pittsburgh, I remember having a lot of them. I also remember not being scared to drive in snow, until I had that bad accident that is. Even then I still loved it. I remember how disappointed I was when we lived in California and Virginia and how excited I was when it snowed after we moved here.

Well, times change and so do people and I've changed in how I feel about snow. Now after driving in it and worrying about Dave having to drive in it, I don't look forward to it. If it happens when no one has to go anywhere then that's fine, but if someone does, then I'm a worrywart. I hate thinking of them having to drive in the stuff and what might happen. I'm not happy until they're home safe and sound.

And I haven't even touched the cold that goes with it.

Oh, and as for the tree, this is how it turned out, not too bad I must say.
