Happy Winter Solstice

(via TreeHugger)


Today forward the days will grow longer and soon enough we will have the return of all things green. But not too soon! We need some more snow to help us enjoy the winter. What is winter without snow?

Let It Snow

We got a dusting of snow (1"-2") early Saturday morning. My girls jumped out of bed as soon as they heard the word snow, got dressed, put on their snow suits, boots, gloves, caps and were out the door, headed to the garage to get the sleds out, before you could say "Merry Christmas."

Early this morning it began snowing again and as of this writing we have about 4"-5" and it continues to come down. It's a light powdery snow. Perfect for sledding. School is cancelled because we are expecting about a foot of snow by lunch time, so they are keeping the kids at home.

I will post video of the great snow adventure later today. I've some work to do first.
