Our Snow Day

I’m sure you are wondering about the snowy picture of our house at the top of the page.  Well, it actually SNOWED here in Alabama, and in March no less!

We awoke Sunday morning to Thomas charging in to proclaim, “It’s SNOWING!!!!”  After racing around and getting everyone dressed somewhat appropriately, we rushed out to play in it.  Usually snow last a few hours here at most, but this stuff kept coming and was seriously sticking, so we found some heavier coats that we put on AFTER all the pictures were taken.  We took a walk in it, tasted it on our tongues, put it on our heads, tracked it in on the floor, and slid around a good bit.  Thomas went to play at a neighborhood friend’s house later and said he tried to make a snow angel, “but it turned out more like a snow butterfly.”  Needless to say, we had much fun playing in the cold and then coming in to warm up by our wood burning fireplace.

The first thing Thomas did was make a snowball and throw it at the camera man-er woman.

My favorite-the forsythia bush simultaneously covered in snow and blooms

Just a couple to show how lovely it looked in our woods

I promise I’ll stop after this one-It’s a big magnolia tree covered in snow.  Looks like Christmas to me!

I took a LOT of pictures.  It was simply lovely.  I couldn’t imagine living with it around all the time though.
