The snow has arrived! If you've watched my YouTube videos, you'll know that I'm one of those crazies that loves the snow. My mom told me it because I was born during a huge snow storm (on Christmas Eve of all days), so it's my natural element. I guess there might be some truth in that ;) We recently got dumped with about 6 inches of the white stuff and I'm hoping that's just the beginning. I want to see it by the foot!
Yesterday morning when I woke up, the first thing I did was head to the front kitchen window to get a glimpse of how much snow we received during the evening. It was still coming down and it wasn't just wimpy flurries, it was the good fat stuff that you can catch on your tongue. And if that wasn't enough to make me a morning person for just a brief moment (very brief), I looked over and saw a beautiful two point buck working his way through the snow to the green below. I quietly opened the front door so I could snap a picture. Him and I both stared at each other for a moment, then he continued on with his grazing and I continued on with my photo shoot.
I LOVE the wildlife here. We literally have deer going through our front and backyard on a daily basis. We also have two cottontail bunnies that my kids have named Long Ears and Fluffy. They seem to like our yard the best, maybe it's because they officially have names now and feel like true VIBS (very important bunnies).
As much as I love Fall here in Billings, I think I'm feeling just fine about making snowmen, going sledding and drinking hot cocoa (with a bit of wine mixed in, of course).
If you're planning a move or visit to Billings, don't let the snow scare you off! Get yourself a warm coat, gloves, and boots and you'll be just fine, I promise. Oh, and 4 wheel drive might be a good idea as well ;)
