snow day

we don't get a lot of snow in Oklahoma. usually two or three good snows in a whole winter. sometimes just a dusting, others times a wet snow that melts as fast as it hits the ground. but there are those rare times when it gets good and cold, below freezing, and then a day or two later a big snow storm rolls in. it snows all day, and we end up with 8 inches of the fluffy white stuff. not impressive by snow country standards, but enough to cover the ground and make everything look fresh and white.



that's what happened today. schools were closed, and we all took the day off. the girls went outside and played, and then went sledding. later the daughter made snow ice cream.



wife stayed in and played with her new stamps. i took naps and looked for good things to eat. tomorrow, maybe i'll work half a day, but today was pure slacking!



i love snow. wish you were here to see it.
