Snow....in OCTOBER!

Those of you who know how I feel about snow (read this if you need a reminder!) Well, our first snow of the season happened WAY too early! Saturday October 10th was our first snow of the season. At first, I was bitter, but then realized it could be a lot worse (it didn't stick to the streets!) and really, when I actually gave the snow a fair chance, it did look really pretty. So, I will save my snow complaining for when it is hard to drive in! :)

No complaints, only pictures!

Total we had 5 inches of snow, even though it doesn't look like it. I like the way the leaves line the driveway, and how pretty the tree looks.

Animals Lovers :)

I am proud to be an animal lover. What brings this on? I just finished watching Marley and Me. Currently, I have ten snotty Kleenexes sitting next to me and I cried for the last 45 minutes of the movie. It was a great movie, very sad but kind of reminded me of why I love animals so much. At the end of the movie Owen Wilson said:

“A dog has no use for fancy cars, big homes, or designer clothes. A water log stick will do just fine. A dog doesn't care if you’re rich or poor, clever or dull, smart or dumb. Give him your heart and he'll give you his. How many people can you say that about? How many people can make you feel rare and pure and special? How many people can make you feel extraordinary?”

As corny as it sounds, it is very true and not just for dogs! I am so thankful for the animals we have. Erich and I are looking forward to having dogs someday, but in the meantime we love our kitties….anyways…that’s my ramble for the evening.
