Let it Snow, Let it Snow, Let it Snow

A beautiful day here in Seattle, "snow" made a surprise visit, just enough to mesmorize you in every window, but not enough to slow you down! Perfect - here today - gone tomorrow!

Needless to say, with the first flakes falling, my inclination is to pour some hot chocolate, put on some fleece (actually already wearing fleece - so this probably does not count), light a warm crackling fire and lay happily in a cozy chair reading my favorite book! Oh.... to have such a romantic view of weather! Instead, with a full foot in and full foot out - did the dance of concentration, work hard, focus, at the office and in contrast, relax, play, and reflect. Gotta love the mixture!

This afternoon, with full predictability I might add, the kids flew home from the bus stop, proceeded to jump into the ski bibs, snow boots, gloves and jackets and headed for the front yard. Oh, if only the yard was ever so beckoning on a regular basis?

2 snowman later (with the likeness of each child of course), gloves soaked, the yard cleaned of any reminent of snow (did I say we only had about 4in or so?) we all enjoyed some winter fun!

Overall, a great day had by all and I am sure tomorrow brings a whole new adventure - particularly one frought with everything not achieved today - but when it snows - well - it just snows!

Enjoy your hot chocolate!
