Friday night: I can’t begin to explain how happy I am about the snow that we’ll be getting in just a few hours. We get snow so infrequently here that I’ve always treasured it as much as a special family vacation. I remember building fantastic snowmen with Ma and Bec when I was little. She gave us antique buttons for their eyes and real carrots for their noses. We threw snow, kicked snow, laid in snow, went down the sliding board covered in snow and snacked on snow and icicles. Heh. It’s been so long since I’ve written the word icicle I had to stop and think how it was spelled just now.
(I had to stop in the middle of this post and I totally lost my flow.)
Saturday morning: We made the trip to Suffolk today. We check out the snow, tried out the ATVs and did laundry. It was cold and wet and a powdery snow that wasn’t much fun to play in. We had homemade soup and chocolate chip cookies. On the way home we stopped by some of our friends’ home and had hot chocolate and homemade doughnuts. I’d like to drive in it some more but I’m exhausted for some reason. We’re home now and getting ready to take a nap. We’ll see what tonight brings. We’ve still got another 12 hours of weather ahead of us.
