This morning, I pulled up our bedroom shade and gasped with delight when I saw my first glimpse of the world outside our camper: the ground was dusted with white, and fat, wet flakes were falling gently in our woods. Our first snowfall of the season! I was as giddy as a child on a day of cancelled school. The snow didn't last past noon, melting completely, then changing to rain, but it sure was nice while it lasted.
