First Flakes



My friend Lauren, who recently relocated from the Bay Area to Chicago with her fiance, sent around a picture of 'first snow' in Chicago yesterday. Lauren taught me the finely honed "Sausalito Diet" (sushi, wine, dark chocolate) and the need for wearing a puffy coat on occasion during chilly evenings in San Francisco. I think both Lauren and I are going to get a bit of a wake up call as California transplants facing real winters for the first time in a few years...

In New York we had 'first flakes' last weekend, that turned into a light rain. I know I am chalking this up to the fun of being in a new environment, but ever since I saw the flakes, I've been thinking of sipping "Winter Frauleins" in cozy pubs, shoe shoeing through the woods, playing in the snow.
