A Snow Day!

We were treated to one of my most favorite things last week. A snow day. I always find myself wishing for them - I missed out on snow days as a kid because I grew up on an Army post, and our schools were never closed -- but we were always so hopeful!

So now, as an adult, I obsessively watch the weather reports, totally consumed with excitement and hoping for the projected snowfall total to increase. The magic of a snow day has truly outlasted my childhood—I feel it as strong as I did when I was a kid. 

~Milo, really loves the snow!~

So, when we got the snow - about 6 inches - that was predicted, I got to stay home from work! And so of course I pulled out my snow boots, and mittens, and the dogs and I played in the yard. And below, you can see that Jack-Jack (Pony) played with my mitten. 

I felt the magic of a snow day span through decades, and land in my lap.

I savored it as long as I could.

Because it was back to work the next day. At least our parking lot was plowed. --Can I confess I was hoping it wouldn't be? 

But I'm hopeful for another one ...... Sooner rather than later, which may come on Sunday. Stay tuned! ❄
