Snow fun.

The snowfall ended late yesterday evening, and today it is breathtaking here. The sun is out, without a single, fluffy, white cloud in the sky, and the temps are in the upper 30s. We're enjoying the "warmth" today because early next week we show a high of 25º. Brrr.

Ever so often, you can hear the thud of snow toppling to the ground from the rooftops above and the crack of branches breaking – some landing on cars. Fortunately, all the downed branches that I've seen have been small, so no real damage to speak of.

The snow crunches underneath us now that the wetness of it has turned icy. Snowball fights aren't nearly as fun when the snow doesn't break upon impact! But that icy snow hasn't stopped Alex from eating as much as he can.

And of course, if he's going to have some, Roo needs some, too. Leave him out? Please!


The absolute best part of our day (other than Jerry making it to work safe and sound) has been when the boys and I sledded down a big hill at our neighborhood park. My goodness! I felt like a kid again! Hope you have a wonderful weekend and are keeping warm wherever you are.
