Sunrise, Snow Day: Seattle


Snow fell most of last evening and blanketed Seattle and cities around the Sound. Hardly enough for a snow day back East, but sure enough, with limited snow removal service, we have our fourth day off from school due to weather. 20K more troops in Iraq, huh big boy? What about that No Child Left Behind thing? You're not just leaving them in dust, with your poor budget plans, you're leaving them in the snow.

So we take snowflakes and make play days. Sledding with neighbor kids, walking the wintery world, and watching the flurry of feathers from chickadees on twigs in the back yard. I'm reading a great book right now called Winter World. It's a lovely companion to hot chocolate, a blanket, and the comfort of new snow.

Stay warm.
