Today, winter

Tomorrow they predict the weather will be 50 degrees, but today, thankfully, it is cold and snowy. I need some winter. This global warming is depressing. Not because I like to be cold, but because the pretty soon we'll have no more polar bears to frighten and awe us.

But, environmental considerations aside, winter is also good because it affords an opportunity to eat snow. C7 and Q5 were outside after school while it flurried, but when we returned home the flakes turned large and fluffy and gorgeous. C7 immediately wanted to go outside and play, and put on her boots, hat, mittens, scarf, and coat (and buttoned it all the way!) and headed outside.





And mandatory eating of the snow. If you are quiet you can hear the snow. And the neighbor's car.








Wonderful.
