Yesterday it snowed. We’re not talking flurries or sleeting rain – it really snowed. And it stuck.
Emily and I drove to Staufen to get some coffee, and on the way we stopped to get some pictures of the scenery. There’s more snow up on the hills than in Kandern; our valley is protected and ends up more wet than blanketed in a lovely white. We have to get out of town to enjoy the snow fully!
Last night I slept at Liel dorm since their RA was off for the weekend. I woke up to find more snow – on my car! It was actually quite beautiful to see snow on all the flowers and colorful leaves. I’m more accustomed to seeing snow on bare branches and evergreens, so this was a unique experience!
After church, a small group of friends got together and had lunch at Katrina’s place. It was my Day-Before-Birthday-Day celebration, but there were flavors of several holidays – Halloween (pumpkin pie), Thanksgiving (a roasted bird), Christmas (snow outside and Katrina’s iTunes playlist), and Easter (balloon hunt). This group of people makes me think of one word: Warmth. What a good way to celebrate on a cold, snowy day!
