I recently had the moment to enjoy some relaxation in the Adirondack Mountains. My husband and I started the tradition of spending a day in Lake Placid, NY every year before the stress of the holidays. Though mind you I ALWAYS seem to find a way to still stay stressed out about 1: all the wrapping left to do while I am lounging by a fireplace completely relaxed.....and 2: all the glorious food I have left to prepare for our annual family Christmas Dinner. This year is a very strange year for NY living up here most of my life; I remember how most Halloween are spent bundled up in snowsuits due to being the first day of fallen snow. Not this year! This year it was 50+ degrees and amazing enough you didn't freeze your fingers off. So far this has been a continued trend...to the point that we even reached some 50+ degree days in November (again VERY unheard of in the "mountains"). Going to Lake Placid we figured we could at least see snow (because at this point its Christmas time and us NYers are ready to see some snow so it REALLY feels like Christmas) in the mountains. Upon our arrive it was breezy warm and no less than again...40 degrees. As a true North Country girl I was starting to think that I was not going to see a white Christmas after all (and I don't think I ever remember there NOT being a white Christmas!).
As an example this is what we arrived to:
Come on this is home to the 1980 WINTER Olympics Should be snow and no green :-/
But....Then we woke up to this and all is right in the world again.....
Yes there is a Santa and indeed he DID bring us the "white" Christmas we had all been waiting for.
Happy Holidays to all the fans and friends of Lori Hickman Photography. May 2012 bring you all excitement and joy. As always as you are enjoying your Holidays please think of those that are overseas protecting our country and not sitting at that chair at a family's dinner table this year.
