The fervent hopes of our youngest child were granted this week with a day off from school due to winter weather. The brutal combination of rain, freezing rain, and snow arrived with impeccable timing at the tail end of what was already a three day weekend. After a relaxing Monday spent at home in honor of two of our presidents (George Washington and Abraham Lincoln), we fell asleep with the knowledge that there would at the very least be a two hour delay the next morning. Happily the delay turned into a cancellation, and the celebration in our home began in earnest.
The unexpected time at home meant many things, including a double batch of cinnamon rolls and siblings actually playing board games together. It also resulted in a few photographs--the primary purpose of this post.
The deer and the birds (several dozen of them) took refuge in our backyard.
More photos from Thursday:
While the snow sure looks pretty, I'll just admire it from here in Melbourne! I spent 28 years in the Midwest of the US and I think I survived enough snow to last a lifetime! ;) My parents, who are in their 70s, were housebound for 2 days recently because of the snow and snowdrifts!
