I’m Dreaming of a White Christmas!

This was what our house looked like on March 12, 2006. It was awesome! I could hear the snow gently falling on our deck while laying in bed. I jumped out of bed and looked out the window just like a little kid. Then, I grabbed my camera, glove liners, hat, snow boots, a plastic bag (to protect my camera from the snow) and our dog, Cocoa. It was 6:30 AM when we headed out the door to photograph. My goal was to be the first ones making tracks in the snow on the road. We didn't quite make it. There were already car tracks on the road, unfortunately! But, Cocoa and I were the first ones to make footprints in the snow! We walked around the entire neighborhood and I documented this rare occurrence the best that I could. Who knows when we will have another snowfall like this? Here in Auburn, we usually get a couple of snowfalls per year. But, snowfalls like you see in this photo are not the norm. They occur about once every other year, if that. So, when it does happen, it's a big deal! We usually get our snow in February or March. But, our first year in this house 20 years ago, we had a White Christmas. That was also the last time it happened. Hopefully, we will have a White Christmas again this year. It's been way too long!
