When you don't get it often, it's automatically exciting!

We have a pretty consistent climate here in the Pacific Northwest.  I'm thankful for that, most of the time.

Sure, we get some hot summer days and some cold winter nights, but it's not often we get a lot of this:

In fact, as I sit here and look out my office window, I can't remember when I've seen this much snow in my own front yard.  There is certainly something calming about watching the snow fall.  This is particularly true when one is on vacation for the next week!  It will be great to have a white Christmas.  For that, I am very appreciative.

Though....the temps outside do make me mighty thankful for this big cup of coffee, my comfy chair, computer and fuzzy slippers!
