October Snow.

     Oh, sorry about not blogging 'Everyday'. I've realized it's hard to do being a full time design college student as well as balancing social time. I try my best though. 

     I have news! For the first time (that I can recall) it snowed in October. Not a few flurries, but a substantial amount of snow; enough to create a blanket over my campus. It was quite remarkable because the leaves are still turning colors and have yet to fall. There was a nice contrast between the vibrant leaves and the sparkling white snow. It was certainly a first for me. 

     Also during the day of the storm we had our last home college football game. It was ridiculous! Hardly any students went. I ended up forcing one of my friends to come with me to the game, for you see, I love the snow and do not allow it from stopping me to do what I want. Besides "amazing things happen when it snows", quoted by Lorelei Gilmore. 

 

Sorry for the mediocre photos, I didn't want to take my good camera out in the snow. 

Patiently Waiting.

     It is said that we will be receiving the first snowfall of the season in a few moments. So, I am patiently sitting here, looking out the window at my surroundings, waiting to see the first snowflake fall. We are expected to get anywhere from 2-4 inches which I doubt, but I am willing to take anything I can get. I'll be happy if we even get one inch.

    Which brings me to another scenario; marriage, or at least becoming engaged. A while back I started having this idea that if a guy would ever want to marry me the engagement ring would have to compose the form of a snowflake. Reason being is that I love the snow and quoting Lorelei Gilmore from Gilmore Girls "amazing things happen when it snows." This is completely true. I can't depict any specific example but great things always happen to me during the snowy wintery months. 

     So, here I sit. Patiently waiting for the first snowfall, as well as my future husband to pop the question with the perfect ring. Either way "amazing things happen when it snows."

Steamy Breath.

     So it happened today, at 8:11am to be exact. I saw my breath. You know, when it gets so cold that when you breath outwards the water vapors of your hot exhale can be seen. The best way I believe it can be described is a fire-breathing dragon, minus the fire. 

     But anyways, it happened, and you know what that means? Well if I was at home, I would be getting ready for the final bonfire, thinking about where to get our Christmas tree, raking leaves, filling bird feeders and putting corn out for the deer so they can get fat for winter. Also having flannel Fridays at school. There's so much that changes once the weather becomes cool. You know what else it means when you can see your breath? It means winter is sneaking up on us; and that my friends is a different blog post in itself.

 We all do it. Exhale a heavy hot breath onto a chilled window and then draw on it. Then within the minute our mothers yell at us for doing it, saying how much of a buggar it is to clean and how we're making it all smuggy. Oh well, it never stops us from doing it. I guarantee many adults still partake is this simple activity. 

It's Fall.

Zentagle in the form of a leaf.

Here's to the first post!

     Today, as I was walking on my college campus it hit me. It's fall. Not the fall that when it is September 23rd and everyone says it is fall, but true fall. There are leaves changing colors as well as falling to the ground. And when that one slight gust of wind makes your nose tingle. The tingle you get when it's fall. It's not as sharp as the winter's air, or as rich as a summer's breeze, but the in between state. It's fall.
