SNOWBLIND...

The snowfall the night before was not too bad. Loose powdery snow not the
wet heavy snow that freezes in to blocks the next day. The sun came up on
Sunday morning and we headed out after breakfast. The hill is only about a
block away but the wind made it feel a whole lot farther. The kids didn't
even notice. Their cheeks were rosy before we got to the hill. I took a 6
foot toboggan as well as the multi colored plastic sled we bought at the
ACE. The kids could not wait any longer. We got to the top, checked for
cars and SWOOSH/..... they were gone. Then up the hill and down. One at a
time, both together, face first , on his back, superman style and in a loss
of control sideways. The hours went quickly as we went sledding. I was cold
because I was not running up and down the hill, but the kids were ready for
more.
I love this part of winter the weekend snow, the light snow with
sunshine on top. I dead it when I'm at work and have to hand clean every
car before I move it. Again the whole season is for the kids. As an adult I
would prefer a tropical island and Pina Coladas, but I'm a midwesterner at
heart. I hope all is well in your winter worlds. Peace. Noel.
