winter, wait...what?

"it's like, hey, you were always there just on the tip of my tongue."

last night as our little family set out on another road adventure, d looked up at the sky and announced that the deep heavy grey clouds were in fact full of snow. i furrowed my brow in disbelief, as the sun was still out to a certain extent, and although it was cold and windy, it certainly didn't look like snow to a mn girl.

i was wrong.

as the little flakes started to fall and melt on our windshield, we stopped by family dollar to pick up two giant bags of wonka halloween candy (nerds of course), to prepare for the children down the block swarming around our house on friday. alfred, if you had not already guessed by the picture below, is going as a skeleton. hopefully he will scare the kids more with his glow-in-the-dark costume as opposed to his barking. i am still working on my costume.

it is darn cold outside. winter seems to have come upon us swiftly as i can't deem this kind of weather fall-like. once it starts freezing, it is the beginning of the end. i do have to say, however, that it is quite enjoyable to ride in the car, once warm, drink hot coffee, eat poundcake, and watch the sun come over the mountains, while listening to some of the music that i've come across lately. in this way, some light can be shed on the dark and perhaps dismal days that lie ahead of us.

recent recommendations include:
