I had a dream last night, that I was driving through the snowy hills of Astoria. When I woke up I pulled back the drapes, and squealed with happiness.There it was... after record breaking rain storms, a soft white blanket of snow had enveloped our world last night. Being raised in Southern California, this actually was my first snow experienced at home. Ever.
So, watching the snow drifting past my window this morning, surrounded by the Christmas garlands twirled with fairy lights that were neatly hung over Thanksgiving weekend was pure magic for me. What a lovely day.
It reminded me of one of my favorite quotes from the character Katherine in the movie under the Tuscan Sun. "Never lose your childish innocence. It's the most important thing."
That movie and our life run a few parrallel lines. Rennovating an older home, and moving away from everything we were so used to. A few people even warned us that leaving Southern California to move to the Northern coast of Oregon was a terrible idea too.
