First day of snow

Brrrr! It's chilly outside today. We got our first snow of the season. It's not much....but the lawn is pretty frosty. And boy is it windy out too! I think that is the worst when the wind is blowing. I hate the wind! It's supposed to be 39 degrees today. I was told that it is blizzard like conditions in Denver. Thank goodness that is not the case here! Our poor puppy dogs are left at home outside today. At least they have the shop in back of the garage to go in and take cover. I keep bugging Derek to put in a doggie door. Right now we just prop the door open with a rock. A doggie door would keep that area much warmer. I feel too bad to keep them in the house in the kennel all day (they sleep in the kennel at night) and they are not trustable to be left out to wander in the house all day alone. So outside they go. I don't entirely LOVE the snow always (I do have my moments though) but I am secretly hoping for some more. I am making our Christmas cards this year and we want to take a family picture. We are hoping to take a snowy one. Being that it is only mid November.....there is still PLENTY of time for snowy days. I am just a bit eager to get our picture taken. I start working on the cards next Friday with some friends from work! Should be fun. I can't wait!
