our winter wonderland

I believe there are some things worth mentioning and some things worth celebrating. I don't know which one this is, but it's important to announce it anyway. Lithuania has SNOW! This photo is the morning view outside our window today. It's November 5th and winter has officially begun here. The first snow always brings a mysterious excitement with it for me. It is especially mysterious for me today as I have no idea what to expect from snow or winter in Lithuania. I can tell the wind is blowing fiercely, and yet the scene appears beautiful from my perspective inside our cozy apartment. I think I would rather stay inside today, but I have to admit there is something thrilling about bundling up as much as possible in all of my warmest layers and stepping out to brave the elements. I will probably have the chance to experience both today.
