Well in checking the snowfall this past few weeks upper Michigan went from 4 inches to 24 inches in the past week...yikes! I can't wait to head up to Michigan and begin cross country skiing, snowshoeing, snowmobiling,and sledding!! I love winter!!!...did i mention that?? I never could take the hot weather...no wonder we are retiring north( only ones i know of hehe ).
The girls will be home soon...only one week to Christmas and we will spend some of the time in Michigan with them...fun fun!! My daughter that lives in Portland ,Oregon misses the winter snowfall and fall turning of the leaves in the Midwest as Portland is mostly pine trees (with not much colorama in the area( i send her colored leaves in wax paper...hehe) and rain year round( not oppressive however just light showers for the most part). That is not to say she dislikes living there... on the contrary she loves it, as it is :progressive, art enthusiastic,environmental, nutrition minded(boasting local in-season harvest choices at many restaurants) and a great place to walk, hike and bike.It is one of the fastest growing cities in the USA, although unemployment is also very high there. (It is a blessing that my daughter however is currently employed.)
My other daughter lives in Boulder, Colorado and she said it was an unseasonal 70 degrees there today and very little snow. I think however it may turn out to be a very snowy winter later on as a warmer winter usually produces more snow!! I guess she has succumbed to waiting for the Michigan snow so her holiday travel goes smoothly since they don't even have any snow yet.
That's all I have to say for now....I am just sharing my enthusiasm for the Michigan snowfall we are currently receiving!! Let it snow...Let it snow....let it snow!!!!!
