The Snowflakes Came to Town…

I admit I was extremely skeptical…

But just as predicted, in fact, earlier that predicted the snowflakes began to fall, lightly at first and then within the hour, with purpose.  A storm with a mission.

 I bet some of you have snow stories to tell, the likes of which would leave me shaking in my boots.  I come from a place where we may have 3 decent snow storms a year.

I guess I don’t have a great reference point for what a dandy snow storm experience would be like or what it is like to be truly isolated for days and days…

Realistically, I am just playing “snow storm”(it has been really fun though).  Lots of homemade hot chocolate, snow ice cream and sledding.  We had hearty beef stew and homemade bread for dinner. 

We also cranked up the gas fireplace, you know the decorative kind, that costs so much to run that we live in fear that the gas company will hold one of our children for ransom when the bill comes due.   Hey, but it’s worth the risk for some toasty warm kids, dry clothes and lasting memories.

Happy Snow Day!
