Ohio doesn’t usually get a good snow before the first of the year, but this is our second good pummeling in December this year. I enjoy it, of course. It’s a nice change and reminds us of home in Latvia.

Chris went out yesterday to help day chop wood for the stove, in snow. Hard work will keep you warm, though. I went out for a bit, but since I’m really trying to not get sick, I didn’t stay out long. It was very refreshing though. I love the smell of snow, the crunch of it under my feet, though. I don’t care if everyone thinks I’m crazy, I like winter.
