First Snowfall of the Year

Today is October 10, 2009, and it is also the first snowfall of the year. Being a fall/winter person, I was very excited to hear that it might snow this weekend. Although I hate, Hate, HATE driving in snow, this morning's snowfall was the perfect type that falls and sticks to the grass, but doesn't stick to the roads. It looks beautiful outside with a light dusting over the grass; however, I have to admit it is a little early even for me. The trees were just starting to change colors around our house, and I hope this snowfall doesn't prevent us from still have a very colorful fall.

Wanting to live with the moment, I was very excited to get the dogs out in the snow before it melted. Below are some pics of their first time playing in the white, heavy stuff this year. Ruby only lasted 5 minutes before she was cold, shaking and wanting to go inside. However, Baxter stayed out with me the entire time.

Enjoy!
