First Snow Fall

I woke up to a majestic scene today, it's snowing! If there's one thing that I love about winter it's the snow. I love to see our lawn covered with powder-white snow, it looks so clean and fresh. I remember the first time I came to US on vacation in year 2000, it was in late Fall when all the leaves were already on the ground and the trees were still standing but sort of lifeless. I thought that was a sad and lonely scene. But when the snow fell for the first time, the whole surroundings instantly came to life. I was so excited to see the snow for the first time, it was magical. But not all experiences I had with snow was great, when the snow turned into ice it was dangerous. One time while getting our mail I slipped and hurt my bottom. It was quite a long walk from our garage to the mailbox, there were black ice underneath the snow, and I walked on it and slipped, it really hurt!

When my son woke up this morning I let him look out the window and his eyes lit up. He loves snow too. Now he's repeating over and over "it no-wing aw-side", very cute. In this photo he's reacting when he saw his toy car on the deck covered with snow.
