Winter?

On Friday, it was so nice out we kept the windows open for most of the afternoon.  On Saturday, Casey went into DC to play nine holes of golf and said there were people out in abundance enjoying the sunshine and a temperature of over sixty degrees.  Yesterday wasn’t bad either.

But today?  Today brought a taste of winter, with cooler temperatures and a dusting of snow.  It fell in a heavy flurry, at first just soaking in, but eventually sticking into a light layer on trees and the ground.

Casey isn’t impressed, but he really can’t complain too much since he just played golf two days ago – a week into January – and the snow will probably be melted before lunchtime tomorrow.

Although much more than this makes living in Virginia miserable, since people can barely function in even as much as we got today, I’m glad for a pretty dusting on the trees.  It’s a little taste of winter, which is like a little taste of our home away from home in the north… although Mom said it was sunny, not snowing, there today.  Go figure; I suppose these are the days I can use as argument to move back up there!
