Snow Day

We've had rain and lots of ice and extremely cold temperatures, but it's been awhile since we've had some good old fashioned snow - the kind of snow that coats our sidewalks and trees and roof tops. This is the scene from our front door and despite my growing annoyance with winter and its various complications (Where are your boots, Ben? Please don't poke holes in the plastic covering our windows. The car will warm up soon, I promise.), I can't help but find it absolutely beautiful, ethereal, mystical - like Narnia.

Beautiful! We had snow like that but now it's warmed up and turned to ice and slush. Not quite so beautiful!

It is only a matter of time before we , too, will be ankle deep in muddy slush. You are right...that is definitely NOT beautiful. It is still hard for me to picture you in snow after all those years in sunny California! :)
