Interestingly I was just discussing with a friend yesterday about how it already looks like winter. It feels like we didn't even have an autumn! As I watched the colors change, I was subconsciously denying the exit of summer and it felt like the weather was on my side, for just last week we were enjoying hot days, wearing T-shirts and shorts! But before we knew it, the leaves were not only a different colour, they were all on the ground! The trees are looking more and more bare, winter's bleakness quickly taking over the hillsides.
Last night, I woke up freezing cold and realized that summer was indeed gone. So today, I broke out my winter wardrobe and I'm wearing my first long-sleeve shirt of the season, even put on a scarf! The morning started out with a fantastic downpour of rain which then, almost magically, became fat, fluffy flakes of snow. I ran outside... and then quickly back in as it was raining AND snowing, quite drenching to the skin. I proceeded to prance around the lodge as Cally sat there saying, "it's so unpleasant". I refused to let her pessimism deter me though and continually exclaimed over the snow to her and every other person who walked in.
Finally Aaron came in and we enjoyed a fantastic time running around in the snow and sliding down the ramp. I even sacrificed my curly hair to the awesomeness! I know it's all gonna melt soon and maybe won't be back for awhile so I'm going to enjoy it while I can! So Christmas music, fireplace, scarves, and hot drinks it is!
Loving Jackson Hole!!!
