: : : snow : : :

there just has not been enough snow here.

i am envious of the giant snowstorms

in the midwest & on the east coast.

i haven't had enough winter.

as if to mock my unmet personal snow quota,

it was 60° here yesterday.

ugh.

today, though, the weather changed.

the kids left for school in sweatshirts {no coats},

but by mid morning,

the wind kicked up,

the temperature plummeted,

: : : and, thankfully, it snowed : : :

later this afternoon,

we even had some crazy-violent thunder blizzard.

{marian got caught outside in it & scared us both}

i am doing my level best to conjure more snow.

i read this book tonight

the boy in the story is a snow fan, like me.

the grownups attempt to dash his hopes

by saying things like, "it'll melt."

but he gets his snow.

i love the illustrations, and this is my favorite

that sky...  those rooftops...

c'mon, snow.
