I have never lived in a place where the entire winter has snow, so when it does snow I become giddy with delight. We do usually have some snow, but this year we have only had a couple of dustings that melted the next day.The Sage Butterflyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06252906325012065829noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-721055461531407267.post-7005550816496260662012-02-24T10:27:41.745-05:002012-02-24T10:27:41.745-05:00Love the letter!

It's usually just cold and gray with no snow (since I grew up with snow, it still does not seem quite proper!)
