Flurries



It's snowing.

The weather is chilly, so chilly that every breath is palpable. From California, I have never really experienced real snowfall. Yes, there were family trips to Tahoe where blankets of snow have already fallen and yes, I've been to New York and Boston where snow fell, but somehow, this time around it's different. It's different seeing snow, knowing that I am living here in it. This time around, the snow is falling, but so light that it doesn't stick. It's the start of winter here in Evanston and surely, in a few weeks, the snow will cover the streets just like it did on my trips to Tahoe, New York and Boston.



Can you see the snow? I tried to capture it before it stopped.



My beautiful lucky bamboo. It does need a name.



This is how it looked about three days ago. I wish autumn lasted longer here in the Midwest. The reds, yellows and oranges are absolutely gorgeous. Combine the falling leaves with cool, refreshing autumn air and it just makes me smile.
