Life is such a sweet insanity.

I love life and people. This is a place where I can write down what's happening, what I'm thinking, what I'm seeing and what I'm feeling. After all, life is just one blog entry after another.

Let It Snow, Let It Snow, Let It Snow.

A typical Upstate N.Y. November made itself known today. It snowed. That's right, we got a nice dusting of snow today, along with temperatures in the high 20s and low 30s to go along with it. There's enough snow to nicely cover the grass, but it's not the type to stick around for a long time. We're suppose to get more snow tonight and tomorrow, then temps will be in the forties the rest of the week.

When I looked out my office window earlier today and saw the first glimpse of the snow flakes, I felt a surge of anticipation for the holiday season. It was definitely a welcomed feeling. I haven't really felt the holiday spirit over the past couple of years. I don't know if it was because of stress, crankiness, a lack of enthusiasm or a combination of all of the above, but this year feels like it's going to be different to me. I feel like I'm going to be experiencing the holidays in a different sort of way this year.

We're having our first of three Thanksgiving dinners this coming Sunday. The preparations have already begun with the thorough cleaning of the house. There's still groceries to be bought, dishes to be washed and a meal to be cooked, but I can feel the excitement of it all already.

It snowed today for the first time this season. And I couldn't be happier about it.

Snow??? Hard to imagine! Here it was a bit chilly today, but the past few weeks have been beautiful Indian summer weather. Can you believe I rode my bike Sunday for hours with just bike shorts and a t-shirt and actually got warm???
