snow day
Woke up early this morning with an inordinate amount of whiteness shining through the bedroom window. The weatherman had predicted snow and it looks like he got it right this time. It's still falling and we already have a soft blanket covering the ground and clumping on the trees and bushes.
For the benefit of the northerners who may be reading this, we get snow maybe once or twice a year here and when we do it is a BIG DEAL. At least it's Saturday so no attempts to get to the office.
I was talking to my Dad on the phone Thursday and he wanted to know if we had our potatoes planted yet. He reminded me that Lincoln's Birthday is when you need to have them in the ground. The answer was no; it's been too wet and cold every weekend. I don't think I am going to be in the garden today either unless it's to build a snowman.

Now, when is the last time you built a snowman? Can you even remember? I can't.
