The White Substance on the Ground
My parents were out of town this weekend, leaving one of my sisters and me with the house all to ourselves. I had the weekend off work and also managed to catch some unlovely bug, so it was nice to have the run of an almost-empty house for a bit.
What wasn't nearly as nice, however, was what I saw when I looked out the window on my way up the stairs this morning.
(not my photo)
I believe I came within an inch of an actual screech. Not two weeks into October, and it's already here!
We were transportation-challenged as far as getting to church was concerned anyway, so we turned up the thermostat, broke out the books, and held an impromptu snow day. (As opposed to yesterday, when we walked several blocks to the grocery store to buy the essential ingredients required to make a certain crisped rice cereal treat.)
I am also glad I have another day off work yet, which means one more day I can postpone braving the early winter weather at 5:30 in the morning. If only we could have winter without the cold! But alas, it presents itself as such a beautiful occasion for the consumption of hot cocoa and gingersnaps...
Anyway, as a monument to this (slightly devastating) development, here are your First Snow tracks for the year:
Jon Foreman: White as Snow [From Winter - EP] Listen here or here
The Classic Crime: Salt in the Snow [From The Silver Cord] Listen here
Mark Snow: Materia Primoris: The X-Files Theme [From The Truth and the Light - Music from the X-Files]
Hey, I am totally serious!
Fields: Feathers [From Everything Last Winter]
Fleet Foxes: White Winter Hymnal [From Fleet Foxes]
The Tide: Broken Bones [From The Winter Sessions]
Death Cab for Cutie: No Sunlight [From Narrow Stairs] Listen here
I link to all of these mp3 downloads to provide listeners with exposure to artists and songs they might enjoy. If you're a listener and you like something you've found here, please buy a CD, go to a concert, or find another way to support the musicians featured in these posts. If you're an artist or a representative of an artist who would like these links removed, write me at jaylynn.lj [at] gmail [dot] com, and I'll make sure they are removed as soon as possible.
