After working out this morning, I headed to Walmart and bought some flowers and herbs. The weather is GORGEOUS today, a beautiful sunny 69 degrees (snowing yesterday….I know, seriously), so I took everything out on the back porch and potted my new plants. Then I came in for a fresh blackberries and orange juice snack. What a wonderful way to spend the morning!
Negative…
..on springtime. It is now snowing.
Don’t get me wrong. I enjoy snow a lot–when it’s in WINTER!! But not after a beautiful 75 degree spring day like yesterday, where people were jumping and playing and the pool.
And now, it’s snowing. Just flurries, but I’m still upset.
On Another Note…
…Spring is here!!
More snow….and more snow!!!
They are saying that we received at least a foot of snow yesterday, the first time in 20+ years. Crazy.
I don’t want to give you the wrong impression. I’ve seen snow before, really I have. Every year, my parents would rent a cabin and we would go spend the weekend up at Shaver Lake, sledding and playing in the snow.
But it’s different when it happens to a place that you love, your home. Completely different than “visiting” snow, it’s like seeing your everyday place in a whole different light.
This is definitely how it felt yesterday, when the snow continued into the early am. 24 hours solid of snowing!!! Now, you might ask, how do we know that it didn’t stop until this time?? Well, in order to celebrate the fact that both Michael and I didn’t have work today (Friday) due to closed schools, the Unruhs came over and stayed until 3am. We lit a fire (which set off the smoke detectors!), drank tea,coffee and beer, ate cinnamon rolls and Bluebell ice-cream, and watched Robin Hood Men in Tights. The boys even made a “glacier” sized snowball out by the pool. When it got too heavy to keep rolling, they tossed it into the pool where it floated like a glacier for some time. All of this hanging out occurred after Courtney and I basically spent the entire morning together, shopping for piano books and drinking Starbucks. Jesse was available to watch Topher so that we could have our girls’ day out– he loved being “Uncle Jesse” and taking Topher to play in the snow all afternoon.
Anyways, check out the difference between these pictures Jesse took and the ones I posted yesterday morning.
