SNOW!

And so I'm back after a three month hiatus from the blog. There are lots of reasons to take a three month hiatus...nothing's happening, so much has happened you don't know where to start, or sometimes there are just things that happen you want to keep to yourself. I can say that the last three months have been filled with all three (and some computer malfunctions too), but that they've been pretty good. Definitely happy with where I am now. And so, like the world outside this morning, I'm going to start fresh right now.

This morning Victoria got a lot of snow. 10" of snow. An unbelievably large amount of snow that normally has one 'snow event' a year, and we already had that back in November. There's really nothing like looking out in the morning to see the world blanketed in fresh snow. The whole world seems like it's full of possibilities, a blank canvas just waiting for someone to make their mark.

I love how the snow brings out the crazy...the good crazy...in people. On my walk to work this morning I was passing by an apartment complex and there was a woman in her pj's on the balcony singing 'White Christmas.' Love. There were tiny kids out with shovels clearing the sidewalk with their Grandpa who were so excited to show me their pile of snow. Super love. And then there was me...acting like I was four. Thrower of snowballs, maker of snowmen and cooker/baker/mixer (???) of snow icecream.
