“Oh no!” I said as I looked outside last Saturday morning. “Oh no!”
We received three inches of unexpected snow. I had cut a large amount of wood in the pasture and left it to split and pick up. Normally I like to pick it up if I cut it, because if it snows, you’re digging through the snow to pick up the wood. I was overreacting though, because the snow melted in a few days and I was able to split and stack the wood on a hay rack to dry.
The boys however, reacted with joy. Each got a shovel and built a private fort. Gameboy’s came up to his knees, but he described it to a friend as a room he could walk in.
Once the snow started to melt and stick together, they built a snowman. Now the snowman is the only remnant of our first snow. Oh well, I’m sure there will be more.
I hope this season finds you and your family celebrating many ways, many things, for many reasons: stability, a new business, successful problem-solving, children-as-teachers.
Oh. sooo cool for kids…and if we are smart, we jump in too! I saw a soft slow snow in Illinois at Thanksgiving. The flakes were sooo big, you could almost see the patterns from a yard away! Loved it.
Lucky boys…and how fun for them.
Off to LA, a wolrd apart and then Omaha and then, Merida, Yucatan.
Happy Happy 2012!
Hugs…
