Series of Firsts: Part III

First Snowfall of the year

We took a poll a few weeks ago about when we thought the first snow would fall. I said December 8. Abigail said November 21, and everyone else was somewhere in between. Abi won!! It started snowing Saturday morning (Nov 22) and snowed all day long. The flakes were big and slow--my favorite kind. By the end of the day, we were sledding on snow up to our knees. Sadly by Tuesday it warmed up and melted at our house. Happily, it snowed again on Poiana on Wednesday, so we began our Thanksgiving celebration today on the mountain. We were just about the only people there--crazy Romanians forgot all about the Thanksgiving holiday--and it was beautiful. Hope to go again soon!
