Last nite we built our first fire... and we enjoyed it. It was in the 20's here. In the am there is frost all over the yard and the kids always say," Look at the snow, mom." They are hoping for lots of snow...but after that week in Feb. of almost 5 feet in one week I can ease into the winter. Actually I love snow - just not 5 ft at once. I would rather have snow any day than ice though.
