Walking in a Winter Wonderland

Friday night it started snowing and didn't stop until the evening of the following day. It was really coming down. I went to the temple on Saturday morning and took the above picture while I waited for a parking spot. Everything looked so pretty blanketed with snow. So I get out of my car and I'm headed for the sidewalk. I was wearing some dress boots that have, oh let me think....no traction. Before I know it I'm doing a scooby doo run-feet moving fast but not going anywhere-and I'm on the ground. Please refer to my body print...taken after I came back. There was a woman standing about 4 feet from me when I went down which was nice for sympathy's sake, but not one of my prouder moments. I got up and was completely covered in snow. I was trying to play it off like nothing had happened and I was totally fine. My initial reaction was laughter. Wish someone had been with me that could've laughed about it with me. But then I noticed my hand hurting. I looked down and it was dripping with blood. Sad. It was a pretty thick chunk of skin, so I just left it and rinsed it off. First pic on the left is after a couple band-aids the day it happened. The one on the right is today. It's healing up nicely. ;) Hope you've already eaten.

...and thank you for the up close and personal photos of that chunk of flesh. Yum. I think some of my lunch just came up.

Great photo of your body print - I wish I could've been there to laugh at you, or with you...whatever. ( : Love you. Glad your chunk of flesh is healing.

Wow! I can't believe how much snow you have out there! I have to say I can relate to wanting someone to laugh with when you go down like that, but that wound looks painful. Ouch!
