First Snow of the Season

We all woke up to snow this morning.  It is October 5, 2012 and there is snow on the ground.  I really hope this isn't a sign of things to come!! 

There was one person in the family who was a bit more excited about the snow than me.  That would be Gwen.  She had to put on all of her winter gear (hat, gloves, snow pants, boots, winter coat...etc) which was slight over-kill because there was less than an inch accumulation. 

Her enthusiasm for snow makes me nervous because I am not the play-in-the-snow kind of gal, but it could be good for snowshoeing this winter!!
