Season’s First Snow

I don’t know if this is early or not as I forgot to blog when the first snow fell last year, but last night it snowed in Toronto. Our first snow of the season and the first snow in the new condo. It was the light, fluffy kind that reminds me of the snow we often see on Christmas morning. So pretty.

(I must remember this post and this sentiment come mid-February when we’re buried in the white stuff and I’m fed up with it all!)

    It’s a good thing I got new snow tires. But the first snow was pretty though.

    I like the buildings but not too sure about the Sharp Center. I may have to see that live to appreciate it. Happy first snow!
