Dare I? Dare I say it?

It’s beginning to look (at least a little bit) like Christmas!

Yeah, yeah, quiet down all you Thanksgiving people. I know we still got Turkey Day ahead of us. But like it not, Christmas is less than two months away! And it looks like the weather knows it as well, because guess what we finally got here in Carson City! That’s right, snow!

Anyone who’s watched the news lately is well aware of the water situation on the west coast, so the bright, white flakes of snow drifting down from the sky were a welcome relief. And for someone whose spent the last two years in the flat, humid plains of Texas, seeing snow was an especially exciting sight.

Full confession, when I first realize it was snowing I definitely starting bouncing up and down like a little kid. Most of my coworkers were born and raised in this area, so of course they were all looking at me like I was crazy.

Just the tops of the mountains capped with snow 

Jon Snow taking in the view!  

 

Was driving down the road toward the mountains when I cam across the beautiful open field! Had to stop and take some pictures of course!

Closer view of the mountains. Looks like the tops were pretty covered!

Enjoying the view!

 

New desktop background? 😛

 

Posing for the camera 

 

Another beautiful field! If you can believe it, on the opposite side of the road are houses! Imagine waking up to this every morning!

Taking a second to be artsy farsty. 😛 

 

I know I say this a lot but I really do feel blessed to be living up here. All these shots were but a fifteen minute drive from my apartment. No crowds or traffic or anything, just down the road!

On a side note, from the weather report it looks like we might be getting snow again next week! Might be posting some more snow shots in the coming days!
