All The Happenings Surrounding the Snow

 

Until recently, I would’ve told you that this winter is moving fast. Now, with a forecast of 10-12 inches of snow overnight, I’m feeling as though the snow may stay around forever. I know it’s good. It’ll help the lakes and the land, and we’ve been so short of snow the past years. But, I’m ready for spring!

That said, much of the winter has been quite enjoyable. Bill and I got into a nice routine of getting out to ski on the lake. (That is, until the temperatures dipped well below 0 and then I got bronchitis…) But, with all the snow coming, I’m confident we’ll get back out.

We both ended up with a snow day early in January – though I guess I’d call it more of a rain day. The roads were glare ice, so we were ecstatic to not have to drive anywhere! We took advantage of the extra time to get our crib assembled and to start consolidating “Tikey’s” things into one area of the house.

Cold and snowy days are perfect for meeting up for some coffee or cocoa with friends (and their new babies!)

The sun is coming back earlier and staying with us later. So, despite the cold and snowy mornings, I’m often greeted with this gorgeous view across the play ground at my school.  IMG_0621

When the weather is not conducive to outdoor play, Bill and Kate turn our living room into a gymnastics arena.

The winter festival in Ely makes good use of the snow, so it’s always fun to wander through and see what the artists come up with. The dragon was a hit this year, though I think my favorite sculpture was Santa Claus.

This morning, before we’d even rolled out of bed,  my husband said, “We should make peanut butter twists today.” I think that guy is a genius!

We’re keeping busy soaking in life – enjoying sleeping in on Saturday mornings and dreaming of all that’s ahead.
