There is nothing I love more than a snow day. In my days of teaching, I lost count of the number of times I went to bed assured by the weather report that I would wake up to snow. Ninety-nine times out of 100, I woke up disappointed. However, there was that occasional day like today when I wake up to a snow covered yard. Now, I realize that by most standards our snow days are not like most, but I will take it. It doesn't matter that it was completely gone by lunch! I put on my little boots a little after 5:00 in the morning, and headed out to enjoy it while it lasted. My only regret is that the big kids weren't here to enjoy it-they just got rain. I wish I could bottle it up and save it until they get here this weekend. Let it snow! Let it snow! Let it snow!
I had peeked out the window upstairs and saw big, glorious flakes falling. This is what I saw out my back door when I got downstairs.
I couldn't get outside fast enough. This is the view around 5:15.
It stopped about an hour later, but started back later for another hour or so.
This picture taken from our den doesn't do the redbirds justice. There were around 20 in the trees at one time. Every time I got close, they would fly. They are very spoiled with an endless supply of sunflower seeds.
More views from the yard.
I couldn't drive across the state and get Maddie, Lillian and Reed, but I could drive to "Miss Cathy's" and pick up this little nugget. I used the excuse that he wasn't feeling well, but I really thought he needed just a little snow time. This smile shows that he agreed.
Nice blog, thanks for sharing
