Winter Wonderland

To preface this I must let you know that I am part of that 10% minority that call themselves morning people. I do enjoy sleeping in and if you ask me to get up really early I won't be pleased with you. But when I wake up I am ready to go. I am probably my happiest all day, I could have a conversation that maked sense, and I don't even need coffee to make me like that. I do realize that most people wake up and are not actually awake; so I generally contain my awakeness inside until everybody else opens their sleepy eyes. Notice how I said generally.....today as I hopped out of bed, I looked out of my window and saw the beautiful white blanket of snow that covered the ground and trees. Yup, my excitement got the better of me and I called my brother at 7:30am... 

I suprisingly got a groggy and annoyed, "Hello?" 

Still consumed in my excitement, I started chattering about how he needed to get his butt out of bed and come hiking with me before all the snow melted by midmorning! I was interupted and reminded by my extremely frustrated brother that nobody had to go to school or work today so what the heck was I doing out of bed?! And than the line went silent as he hung up the phone on me. 

Since everybody seemed to be interested in staying in their warm and cozy beds; I trecked out into the silent winter wonderland on my own. It was all so perfect. The air was crisp and smelled so wonderfull. The sleepy silence was intoxicating, no children screaming or birds chirping, just the sound of my boots crunching in the snow. I was able to snap some pictures of the peace, before the sun and neighbors woke up. Enjoy.
