Fall

Did I forget to mention that I love fall?

Snow

So people and social media has been telling me that snow has fallen for the first time this season in New England tonight. I have to say...after sweating under the blazing hot sun here in Northern California, I'm starting to wish winter would come sooner. Though almost 3 years ago I made the decision to get away from the cold weather as far as possible (thus coming all the way across the country), I actually miss the snow. I used to remember the times when I sat in my room with a lamp on and looking out the window as I listened to either yoga or holiday music, watching the snow fall. You can call me a freak, but I miss those times. I miss those times when you finally know when winter is finally here when you feel the little flakes fall on your head. I miss the time when senior sledding was an actual night activity. I just miss being able to step outside with a pea coat, tights and uggs into the cold and frosty weather for some time and coming back to the heater. I miss those sudden moments of coldness that really reminds you of the beauty of the winter season.

The sun is great but somehow I have learned that a cold winter season never hurts to remind you of the beauty of seasons. For the longest time, I always thought summer was my season but I'm starting to realize that fall and winter might be the thing for me.

I miss the snow.

And, I still need to make my snow angel.
