Someone in the sky last night
Had an awful pillow fight,
And when I woke today I found
All the feathers on the ground!
Not sure who wrote that, but it's cute! It was a pretty crazy pillow fight too! Hmmm...18ish inches? Lots of beautiful snow, making the whole world look soft, muffling sounds, and blinding bright white everywhere! BJ had the forsight to check the church sidewalk last night, finding a 3 foot drift in front of the doors...the nice guy shoveled it out. He was up early to get out to Grandmama's to plow the drive, then back here to get our car out of the way for the plow, as well as shovel out 3 of the neighbor's cars. All before 8 a.m.! Thanks to him we were able to make it to church, but we were a big percentage of the congregation today! We met in the "Fireside Room" by the fireplace, because there were just too few of us for the big sanctuary. It was cozy and fun.
After church and lunch, we went back out to Grandmama's to enjoy the snow! Abby had such a fantastic time. After an hour I could see when she took her mittens off that her hands were icy cold, but when I asked if she was cold, she threw out an emphatic "No!!" Funny girl--we went in anyway! She didn't care too much for the sled--she preferred to slide "otter style" down the piles of snow. She'd struggle and grunt her way to the top of the "tower", then slip slide face first on her belly to the bottom.
Alex enjoyed a couple turns around the yard in the sled! Well, that is until I took one of those turns too tight and he tipped out onto his face. Poor guy! He decided he'd rather slurp a juice box in the cozy house with Grandma and Grandmama.
Proud of her big snow chunk! "It's pretty heavy Mommy!"
Here's our hero!

What a wonderful day. I'm so thankful. We have a snug little home, a caring Daddio and hubby, friends that are like family, family that couldn't be better family, good health, oranges from Florida (thanks Mom!), Grandmama's big yard to play in, and spring will come soon!

Looks like fun. All we had here was that Texas smow (blowing dirt). Great pictures, loven this blog.
Just in case you care, your poem "Snowfall" was written by
Margaret Hillert. And if you don't care, that's ok too : ).
Lol, thanks for the fyi...
