Snow Day!

There are very few words which bring such universal joy and childlike wonder as these two: SNOW DAY! (Well, if not universal, than at least for me.) My teacher husband, ever the practical one, reminded his students yesterday that cancelled school today would mean an extra day at the end of the year...but I, like they, don't give two cents about that. Why care about June when you can stay home and have fun today? It's the American way!

The bonus for me, of course, is that I don't have to make up the day - though I will work on the sermon from home. But it's 9:15 am and I am still in my pajamas! Because it's a snow day!

I took some photos around our house of the 8 inches that arrived last night (4 more expected tonight). Without telling you where I live, suffice it to say that this is quite a lot of snow for us. Most area schools, except for Beloved's district, are closed for the day. We won't have our usual kid activities at church tonight. So I'm going to stay home and have fun. Oh - and work on the sermon. But only a little. Because it's snow day!

Sometimes, exactly when you need one, God and the universe graciously give you a snow day. This one came just in time. Thanks and Amen.

This one comes with bonus information about my pajama pants. Which are now covered with snow, by the way.

I have this thing about snow in trees. It's the most beautiful piece of it, to me - like lace from the universe. And also significantly more beautiful than the roads, since you don't have to drive on the trees.
