Snow Day

Snowmen!

Lauchlin came home grinning last night, covered in huge white flakes. We could hear the girls down the street screaming as they had a snowball fight in their pyjamas.

The snow is here! There is a thick, fluffy layer of snow all over everything.
There are two snowmen outside in the street, nice chunky ones that might be as tall as my armpits. And still big flurries and chunky snowflakes are falling. I am surprised at how quietly snow falls, none of the drama of rain with all its roof-rattling. Snow has a more gentle, curling stealth. You wake up and there it is. Everywhere!

Snow, you bring the joy back into winter.
