Snow Day

It snowed here on February 3rd - about 4-6 inches in some places I would guess. Everything was canceled for the day and the snow beckoned to us . . . you must make a snowman, it said. We couldn't resist. We spent the day in and out, building forts, building and then destroying our snowman, snowball fighting, and sliding down a huge hill behind our house. We even took on some of the neighborhood teenagers in a snowball battle. They were quite surprised that an old woman like me could hold her own! The day was great, but it only just now occurred to me that we never made snow ice cream. Bummer, although we do still have snow on our front lawn. Hmm . . . maybe not, there's always next time.
