Yesterday the weather report said that we might see some snow flurries, but due to the warmth of the ground we wouldn't have any accumulation. In the early morning hours I heard the snowplow go by and thought "the weather report was a bit off." This morning we awoke to about 3 inches of the fluffy white stuff. The black lab was ecstatic! She rolled and raced through the snow, buried her nose to 'hunt' out field mice, and rolled some more. When Raven comes back inside from her play, she's more white than black!
One of the blessings of home schooling is being able to get out in the first 'real' snow of the season to play before it melts. This morning Jon and Ian were out playing tic-tac-toe in the snow and spraying food-colouring designs while the other kids in the neighborhood were piling on the school bus. Now that the fresh snow has been duly 'broken in' the boys have come back inside, melted snow on the woodstove (had a discussion on evaporation), and are ready to hit the books. Ah-h-h the joys of home school!
