Winter Wonderland

So yesterday it snowed a LOT here! I guess that's what you can expect here. I think there must be a lot of excited ski and snowboard enthusiasts. Since I've never done either, I'm not terribly excited about the snow. I HATE driving in the snow. I'm terrified of the icy roads, and other drivers that are probably either new to snow, or aren't as concerned about my life and car as getting to their destinations as quickly as they can. Anyway, when I left the house at 10:00 yesterday morning to teach my violin lessons, I had to scrape about 6 inches off of my car before I could go anywhere. I have to admit--there is some really pretty scenery around here. I think it's really pretty when the trees are heavy with snow and their branches bend under the stress of the thick snow. Unfortunately, the new management at our apartment complex was not very quick to get things plowed, and when they did get around to it, they didn't clear it well either. Very very icy! In January this year, I slipped and hurt my tailbone, and in February, I nearly slipped all the way down our stairs. Hopefully, I'll survive with minimal injuries this year. Once there was a snowman, snowman, snowman...
