snow fall

well, after just over 4 years of living in this area - we get 'real snow' it came down so quickly and after the last 10 days of frosts with no rain it settled just as quickly. I had a long drive home yesterday - had to get some flour etc. from New World on the way home from Playcentre with Ethan & people were having trouble getting out of the supermarket carpark. I prayed we would get home safely in our 2 wheel drive with no chains! We did - it just took three and a half hours. I got the car halfway up our driveway but it wouldn't go any further! Our neighbour had collected the girls from school as it had closed early & even the busses couldn't get out and they were all playing on the reserve in front of our drive way - snow men, sledding....but then Ethan got cold, then Alicia.... - they can make so much noise when they aren't happy can't they??? Katya played on!

The snow is still here this morning but it is still very cold. blue skies are appearing & I decided not to brave the snow to walk for a hot chilli chocolate & made my own! It is very pretty & it feels like walking through a wonderland with all the snow on the leaves and branches and not really knowing where you are walking.

We got this firewood last week - so pleased we did!!! But before the end of July I'm sure we will be needing more.

So what to do on snowy day... tidy the house first & then play.... some scrapjacking, a winter layout maybe, some retreat make & take planning, having a go at nics sketch at SBO, all while eating soup that Jase put together last night & it's been in the crock pot all night - yum.... tasty warm snacks for the day!
