Sweet Yet Sour

It’s been snowing here since Thursday night and as of the writing of this post, it’s still going.  I love snow, especially on weekends when we can just hang out in the house and don’t have to worry about going anywhere. It’s been a pretty dry winter here – we spent most of it under high fire danger – so this is welcome moisture.

This is what it looks like on our back deck right now:

Anna kept pointing outside and saying, “Doe” (I’m biased so I’m going to interpret this as my very smart child saying “snow”).  So after Anna’s morning nap I bundled her up for the trip.

I think if Anna could say anything about this it would go something like, “I can’t put my arms down!” (I hope other people have seen “Christmas Story”.)

When I got Anna outside we went down the street to where Mike was snow blowing our neighbor’s driveway.  Just to illustrate how much snow we have we stood her in the path where Mike had cleared the snow.

Pretty soon Anna’s eyes started to run and she looked pretty cold so I brought her inside.  This is the kind of hat hair you get when you don’t have a lot of hair in the first place:

Next winter when she can walk by herself I’m pretty sure it’s going to be hard to get Anna inside on days like this; as it is I took all of her warm stuff off and Anna pointed at the door and said, “dat” wanting to go right back out.
