Fun in the Snow

I just had to slip in a couple pics of me shoveling snow since bw was seen doing so previously. You can see we still have a loooooooong way to go to get to Blanca (the car).


Well, I made it out to a little way into the driving area at least.
Then bw came out and I reminded her of the snow angels. Well, first she suggested we just make a snowman instead. But I explained that the snow really wasn't wet enough to make a good snowman. We could have done it; but it would have taken a lot more work. On reflections, I realize that she probably thought a snow angel was just basically a fancier version of a snow man, only with wings.
Finally, she asked me to show her how to make a snow angel. So when I walked backward into the snow and plopped onto my back, I think she was pretty surprised. Then she laughed with enjoyment. And then she ordered me to wait while she got the camera again and took pics of me making my snow angel.
Next, of course, was her turn. So she bundled up a little more than she had been. And we went out the back door.
You really can't see her face because of the scarf wrapped around her. But trust me: She was enjoying herself. Then, since she was already bundled, she did a little more tromping in the snow. She's such a good sport about the winter and snow and the weather, etc.!

Finally, we decided to go for a little longer walk--out onto the street and down to our church about 3/4 mile away. So that got use out of the house and into the air.
So that was our day!

We don't have near that much snow, but that could change tonight. We are getting a really cold front. The wind blew it in this afternoon with a vengence and the temperature dropped from 59 to 28 in less than an hour. The wind is blowing 40 - 55 mph so the wind chill is low. I haven't been able to find a reading on it though. It will mean more days of inside recess at school. The students are already pretty hyped with the huge change in the weather, but it could get worse.
Enjoy your snow! I'm glad BW enjoyed making snow angels. It's been ages since I did that.
Love,
Cheri
