Snow Surprise

I guess I was totally out of touch yesterday about the weather. When I woke up this morning, snow had  graced the lawn and streets.

Imagine my surprise.

The world was white when I expected the brown and gray of a snowless winter. Alas, I think it also surprised the road crews and apparently the roads are also snow covered and slippery.

It is another snowpocalypse? Not hardly, we have only received just over an inch or so--and the snow only reminds me of how cold that the past few days have been.

Ugh! Cold. Fourteen degrees cold--almost too cold to snow!

I guess that it is good that the weather is unpredictable--it provides a wildcard experience in life for a bit of creative problem solving. Who has not experienced a rainstorm when outside activities were planned? Or snow, when any activity was planned?

It is just the way that it is.

Well, at least Makayla loves the snow. She went out and frolicked--yes, I actually wrote that word, in the snow.

My feet just got cold.

Did anyone see where I misplaced the palm trees that are supposed to be growing in my yard?
