Finally! Appropriate winter weather!

I am so excited that it has been snowing here this week! Since moving to Nashville, we have experienced a blooming spring, a blazing summer, and a crispy fall, but no real winter yet. Last winter was weird and we were wearing t-shirts in January and the daffodils bloomed in February.

I am one of those people that really loves the seasons. I need four true seasons every year. For me, it's not the holidays or the cuisine that make the season, it's the weather. {And I'll be honest, secondly, it's the fashion trends.}

Where we both went to college {and then moved back for Lee to get his master's}, there was a true winter, every winter. Snow and ice and a couple of blizzards every year. So I was a bit disheartened by winter in Nashville last year.

...but this year we have appropriate winter weather! I am so excited!

This was Dexter's first experience with snow. He loves it. Anytime he goes out in the backyard he just runs around in circles like crazy and forgets that he's out there to do his business. The first time we went out when it was actually snowing, he was super confused. He kept looking back at me as if wondering why I wasn't freaked out by this strangely cold, but delicious phenomenon. It was hilarious.
