Winter is coming...

It snowed. As in 44cm snowed.



The next morning...

Quality time with the squirrels makes it seem not so bad...

School was cancelled, I had forgotten how much snow days rock. We hibernated for two days till it finally warmed up. Today I ventured to the beach and made a new best friend...he is as tall as me when he jumps on me..and he's still just a pup...

Meet Hoss

and this beautiful hawk who was perched right beside me..

and weird cat tails getting ready for winter...

Back to school tomorrow...not thrilled about that even after 4 days off! haha Come onnnnn, December 16th!

Brrr

I'm still wearing flip flops. Have I mentioned that?

I go down kicking and screaming, dammit.

It's been inseasonably warm for the most part, but yesterday I woke up to a dusting of snow on the ground.



Sigh.

It was melted by noon, so it hasn't been all bleak so far. There is still warmth, autumn sunsets, and the lovely sound of leaves dancing down the streets.

November hasn't been all bad...and flannel pjs and cozy socks make me happy.

Solitude

Sometimes all a girl needs is a beach to herself...terns, seagulls and the gentle waves. To be able to walk in flip flops on November 13th...is a gift in itself.

Today...I was grateful.
