Can you smell it? Do you feel it? The crisp air, the swirls of white starting to fall. The anticipation of the first flakes. Today’s coffee sponsored by my friend…❄?

For those that know me I have had a hate, love relationship with snow. My first snow that I remember after moving back to Minnesota was the Halloween snow storm. The subsequent years after… I hated snow… I hated the cold.

We moved here to Colorado, where I feel the most me. Except snow… or at at least I thought for the first decade or so.

But I have found that Snow and I are friends. It took us years to realize it. Mostly me begrudgingly mad at it but it was been persistent in it’s pursuit to have another friend. I may not partake in skiing or sledding or enjoy driving in it for miles to work. But it’s the beauty and stillness it brings that makes my heart happy.

Welcome back my friend SNOW

Yesterday in my errand shopping I found this happy new coffee mug… yay Target! So, this is today’s first coffee… with the zucchini bread I made yesterday.

I hope today’s and some of yesterday’s coffee pictures brings you some smiles. Because, HELLO AUTUMN!

I had a fabulous idea of what my next post would be. Instead this is truth. Raw. Unfiltered. We had a meeting at the school this morning. Which I felt unprepared for so didn’t even take time for coffee and instead sat making notes.

This picture was at Noon. After our meeting, after lots of tears. With no questions answered and my hope gone. My darling girl who is sometimes wiser than her years made a fresh pot and handed me a travel mug to help me conquer more errands.

Okay All… I said last week on National Coffee Day to stay tuned for news about my coffee posts… well, here goes.

So this is the first post on my blog… and my thirdish cup of coffee.
