Today I am thankful for...
one last snowy morning with the little babe. The next time we see snow she will be three! (That's assuming that we won't see snow between now and next October.) Last Thursday was a beautiful day with warmer temperatures and clear blue skies. However, the weather forecast claimed that there was a 100% chance of 3-5" on Friday - the first day of Spring. I checked the skies before I went to bed on Thursday and still didn't see any snow clouds. My husband said that when he rode his bike home from school around 9 pm, he saw stars in a clear sky. But sure enough, sometime during the night, the snow front moved in and we woke up to a gray snow filled morning. It was a Friday, almost the weekend, my birthday, the first day of Spring, and we had snow - what a great day!
After dropping my husband off at school, the little babe said she wanted to go to the park, so away we went. It was snowing so much that I was actually a bit nervous about our drive home, even though we only live a mile away. The park is surrounded by cornfields and so at this time of year, the wind whips across the wide open harvested fields - and the road. We stayed at the park for about an hour and tromped around the community garden. Then we slowly crept up the hill towards home, where she played with the dogs while I shoveled out the winter weather weary chickens.
What are you thankful for today?
