Our first snowfall!
Good Morning! Our first snowfall! Wasn’t the 8 inches some predicted — it was a couple of inches at most, the snow was wet and it was warm and the temp this morning is a balmy 25 degrees so that translates to ice this beautiful morning!

I learned last night that my wonderful community of Rapid City, SD has a city ordinance that stipulates you are responsible for shoveling your sidewalk within 24 hours of snowfall (thanks Laura Lytle for helping me be a good community member!)- so — I shoveled the sidewalk this morning! I live by a middle school — I enjoyed chopping through the crusty snow and ice — knowing the kids will walk on a clear sidewalk today…I drifted back to being a kid growing up in Rapid City and the many times we woke early, to shovel our very long driveway before school — you may be surprised — I like shoveling snow and raking leaves.
Drive careful out there, I hope you find time to stop and enjoy our first snowfall — chances are most of it will be melted before the end of the day!
