Well, it's very "Oregon coast" of me to be so excited over such a small and uneventful little thing...but that didn't stop me from freaking out when I looked out the window and saw Gomaringen's first snow!!!
If I hadn't known any better, I would have said it was December but there was no Christmas music, the fire place was cold, and most importantly, I had school the next day. My friends just laughed when I told them school was normally canceled in Coquille when it snowed. But now it's the weekend and although the sun has come back out, the temperature this morning (as I rode my bike to school) was under 40 degrees and throughout the day I'd be surprised if it broke 50.
Okay, so I know it's not that impressive...and the ground was already so wet from an entire day's worth of rain that it didn't stick at all..BUT--it's snow :-) I took a bunch of pictures and then sat down at the table with mama and had a perfect cup of coffee..and even though it wasn't the weekend, I even nibbled at a bit of her baked apples that were fresh out of the oven....well, baked apples with a decent amount of sugar and butter. :-)
Christian had a hard time not covering the flash, but this one isn't too bad :-) |
I'm sure sometime--probably in the next month--I'll be able to have a post full of snowy pictures and give you a chance to see Gomaringen under a blanket of white but for now, an afternoon of flurries is going to have to suffice :-)
Love reading your blog Julianne! Almost like you get to take us along with you and give us a peek. Love it!
ReplyDeleteMay I suggest Pandora.com for your Christmas music? ;) I've been listening to it since the first day of Autumn ;)
Love,
Nola
