winter precipitation

We saw our first dancing little white motes flying about in the air this morning. (I insisted it was fairies, while Miss Veronica kept trying to tell me it was snow. I wasn't listening to her!)

Funny how once upon a time snow used to mean no school, fun playing outside, beautiful views, and generally winter goodness and now it comes down and all I see are roads and driveways difficult to navigate because of piles of it all over, school going nearly to July because of the snow days, and the need to deal with the snowblower (not at all my favorite piece of machinery).

There are definitely some ways in which being a parent is not better than being a child!
