january twenty eighth

Snow makes me giddy. It's kind of hilarious here because it's always unexpected. Our little baby snow day will come sandwiched between sixty and seventy degree, sunny days. And in the exact moment when you think there's not a chance that you're going to see snow this year, there it is. And no one wants to believe the weather man, and the bread and milk are sold out at the grocery store, and everything shuts down when less than an inch has fallen, 

and no one knows how to drive (guilty.)

It's wonderful because, even if it's only a tiny amount, and even if it's only for a minute, 

it makes everybody stop and look and see.

and "oh my goodness. I didn't think it would happen."

and it is so quiet and calm. 

and then you scream and run and play like you are five, 

because it's wonderful and beautiful and exciting just like you remembered.
