It's Snowing!

Today is day 5 of my adventure. Good thing I already got a walk in this morning, because it just started lightly snowing outside. I must say that seeing the snow fall is pretty cool. Henry is resting on the couch next to me and there's a fire going.

Monday I went skiing with my mom's cousin, Judi. We went to Middlebury College's Snow Bowl for a couple of hours. Monday afternoon was a great time to go--hardly anyone on the mountain and the trees were all covered with frost and snow. It was beautiful, I wish I had a picture to share with you! I fell once on our first run and managed to tweak one knee and bruise the other leg pretty good. It is amazing how uncoordinated and clumsy I can feel on a pair of skis!

I'm hoping to try cross country skiing tomorrow with Judi's daughter, Hannah. She works at a resort nearby and they have snow shoe, cross country and sledding trails. Plus, she gets to use all the equipment for free and seems to want some company. She may just be humoring me, but I'll take what I can get! Judi and I rented snow shoes for the weekend so we can explore the woods on her farm. She has almost 100 acres, so there's a lot of space to get out.

It is definitely cold here. Even the native Vermonters are saying so, which makes me feel better. I have been reading a bunch and am on top of the financial aid process. Five days in and I feel I am most definitely where I should be right now.




These pictures are of Judi's house and my view from the window right now. Though I don't think you can see the snow as well as I can.
