See, amid the winter’s snow

First snow of the seasonWe had our first snowstorm of the season today! Earlier this morning we bought Christmas trees and ran other errands; during lunch we noticed the snow had started and hurried home. The flakes were falling in large clumps; Thing One discovered they were perfect for making a snowman. Thing Two appreciates snow in theory (one of his favorite books right now happens to be The Snowy Day) but he prefers to be warm, so he was happy to watch from the window as his big brother made tracks and rolled snowballs. Thing One, on the other hand, has always loved snow and must be reminded to come indoors to thaw out.

Enjoying the snow while it lastsI don’t suppose posting this photo counts as sending out my Christmas cards, does it? Oh well; it was worth a try. It was a gorgeous afternoon, though, and since snow doesn’t stay around very long here, we have to enjoy it while it lasts.
