Urban Snow Adventure.

I love the snow. I sit in front of my living room window like a child hoping for a blizzard when I see the first flakes begin to fall. I assume the reason I love the snow so much is that we rarely see it here in the Pacific Northwest. We always get a little dusting that is generally gone by morning, so there is never any time to play in it. Although for some reason it always causes at least a dozen car accidents? I don't know how that one works.

I was so excited when it began snowing 2 nights ago. I caught this picture on my porch of me watching the snow falling.
It was becoming nightfall so we could not go play in it, so I waited til morning. I bundled the kids up. I put on my bamboo stockings(warm!!) and a 50s wool skirt. We popped over to Solanah's house to walk her to work. We brought the sled, but at that time it had mostly turned to slush on the sidewalks.
My kids, ever optimistic, changed their chant from sledding, to "Its a pirate ship!" as we trudged the sled through puddles.
We had a blast regardless, and it was a lovely little stroll. I hope it is not the only snow we get this year. My kids loved it as much, if not more than me and I hope to have some more sledding adventures before the end of winter.

I want to wish you all a safe and happy New Year. Please remember to designate a driver and keep the roads safe. Also, look as fantastic as you possibly can! Happy New Year!
