It's Beginning To Look A Lot Like Christmas

The leaves are slowly turning brown and a few have already fallen off the trees. This is an unusually long Autumn, we are now into our third day. By Tuesday it should be over and then a few weeks of the bleak look. I LOVE IT. Don't get me wrong, winter means snow and snow is great, but only for skiing. When the kids were growing up we used to go to Colorado at least once a year and ski everyday. We usually spent Christmas week in Breckenridge Colorado then returned back to Texas to have a second Christmas day. I think it funny that the girls that live in the north do not go skiing at all and the girls that live here still go to the mountains now and then. Well Meaghan sent the following picture of Buddy that was taken today and all I can say is "It's fun having the first snowfall, then you watch it turn brown, have a little rain, mix that with some sleet, have a hard freeze and then call in sick so you don't have to drive in it". Enjoy it and tell me how beautiful and fun it is come the end of January.
