A Little Closer To Heaven

We had our first snow of the year this weekend! It wasn’t much…but it was so exciting! We got about a half-inch here with a little more than that in the Buffalo National River. I love the first snowfall of the season. There’s so much excitement the first time you look out the window or step outside and see the ground turning white and the snowflakes falling all around. It didn’t last very long though. Most of it melted off today and the rest will melt off tomorrow (typical ozarks snowfall).

I feel like I have not stepped foot outside in forever. Probably because it’s been raining for the past few weeks. The great thing about the rain is that it has brought the river up tremendously meaning canoe season for me has started yet again. I just have to find time to get on the river during the holiday season. All of this rain is causing me to gain some weight because I haven’t been able to run. This week looks better, so I’ll be back in the routine before I know it. I gotta get in shape for those 14ers!
