The Novelty of Snow

The creek bottom next to our house

The thing about snow is that in the beginning you really like it and it's cool to look at, cool to play in and just over all makes things look pretty and wintry. But then the novelty of it wears off and when it does..............it's just kind of there and you can't wait for spring and summer to come.

For now it's still new to us and we think it's pretty and cool and fun to play in. This morning we woke up and it was snowing and we already had a few inches on the ground. So after breakfast we put on the ski bibs to stay warm, threw on some jackets and gloves and decided to snap a few pictures and play in the snow a bit.

We attempted to make a snowman but the snow was so fresh and fluffy that we couldn't get it to pack together well enough to actually make the snowman. And there was just no way in the world I was about to go get water to add to make it wet enough to do something with it. So it's just a pile of snow in our front driveway.
