Let It Snow


We are experiencing our first snowstorm since moving here two years ago. (Actually, being from the North, I can say it is a bit of an overstatement to call it a storm.) It started right before I left the office, and reports said it would be turning to sleet. Given how steep our driveway is, I was regretting I hadn't put a big piece of cardboard in my trunk in case I had to park the car on the street and slide down the driveway on my bottom. Fortunately, by the time I got home it was still just a light dusting. Mia and Sarah greeted me with rosy cheeks. They'd been out on the deck enjoying the big fluffy white clumps of snow that were gently falling. I think the best reason to have a child is that it gives you license to be a kid again. Unfortunately, I don't think we can hope for enough accumulation to be able to make snow angels tomorrow.
