Did you blink and miss it?

This is the view from my window yesterday. For a brief moment it was snowing wildly. Poor Barry had 3 weeks off, praying for snow each day so he could see what it looked like from the windows of the new room. I was messing in my pantry cause a box was turned around (thanks Anne) and I came out for a moment and it was going wild outside! I hurried to grab my camera and it stopped.






Sigh. So I put the camera away and went back to the pantry and it started again.

So I run and grab the camera and start shooting like crazy, yelling for the kids to come see.

I hurry to download the pictures, which is a stupid process since my camera cord doesn't fit the camera so I have to remove the memory chip from my camera and put it in Cory's old camera.


But I am moving very fast cause I need Barry to look outside and see that it is snowing! (I know, I could've called but I just now thought of that) I email him the pictures, turn around to take some more and you guessed it!










It stopped. AND melted. I mean, gone, completely gone. I thought maybe I was dreaming but then I looked out back and there was one log on the hill covered in snow.

So I guess that's it. I suppose it's like Florida when it rains on only one side of the street. Only it doesn't dry up...ever.

It was right pretty while it lasted. Can't wait to sit in the room, sipping hot chocolate, watching a 2 foot snowfall. Maybe I'll add some Bailey's Irish Cream to the coffee.... join me! We'll crank up the heat a skootch...

I can hear Rhia now, "who's says skootch?" You should have heard her commentary on my use of the word governess.

Jeez. Tough Room.
