Winter - January 19

Two weekends ago we finally got a light blanketing (equivalent to a crocheted blanket) of snow that was accompanied by temperatures in the 20s! When it started falling on late Saturday afternoon, the kids were mesmerized by the clumps of white stuff coming from the sky and actually sticking on the tree branches and the lawn. After running around the house to check the view from nearly every window, I paused and thought about the snowy Midwestern winter weather I'd grown up braving. For a minute I felt silly marveling at the inch of snow on the ground, but then I gave in and decided to enjoy our version of a winter wonderland while it lasted!
