I've officially been a resident of northwest Arkansas for 10 months now. The other day, one of my friends accused me of becoming a "northwest Arkansas snob," calling me "one of those people who think NWA is the end-all, be-all place." Guilty as charged. I always thought I'd want to end up here someday, but someday came much sooner than expected, and residing in the state's most extreme northwest county is even better than I expected. Great shopping, good dining (although neither in my actual town), and beautiful scenery.
My first autumn wasn't as gorgeous as I expected it to be (of course, to be fair, I did go to Boston this fall and that's kind of hard to beat). Last January, on my first night in the new house, we had a big snowfall. I love snow and was excited to see a lot of white stuff. There wasn't much.
Today marks the first snow of this winter. Granted, it's more of a wintry mix and heavy on the rain, but still... it's SNOWING. And I'm sitting in my warm house, watching the Christmas tree lights blink and drinking coffee.
Three days ago I was in Texas and it was 80 degrees. I love northwest Arkansas. So sue me.

I love your tree Lori, and sounds like a relaxing day for you.
Brrrr. It's not 80 here anymore, BUT it's not snowing either :(
Jealous in Texas,
