We woke up to a lovely surprise this morning! It was snowing! Apparently I don't pay too much attention to the weather forecast because I had no clue it was supposed to snow. Ellie came prancing into my bedroom this morning with a big grin on her face and informed me that it was snowing. A lot. Sure enough, when I looked out the window, the snowflakes were furiously coming down and piling up quickly. There was about an inch when we got up and in just a few hours we had close to 4 inches.
Since we had other things going on this afternoon, we didn't take our usual Wednesday nature walk. We just donned our snow gear this morning after finishing our school work and headed out to play.
We shoveled the driveway, tried catching snowflakes on our tongues, made snowballs and snow angels, tracked Peter Rabbit in the snow, and just generally had a splendid time enjoying the snow. Well, I shoveled the driveway and the girls did all that other stuff. But it was still splendid. And the girls DID help shovel a little bit. They are little people with little shovels, so I guess I'll give them a break. The snow is much more fun to play in than to shovel out of the way.

Peter Rabbit has been hanging out in the garden, nestled in next to the trellis where we had some straw leftover. He sat out there most of the morning while it snowed on him. When we went outside, he was gone, so we followed his tracks to see where he went. We found him hiding under a piece of plywood and some hoses. He finally decided to find a covered shelter AFTER it stopped snowing. Silly rabbit!

| This morning dove sat on the the fence all morning while it was snowing. It looked so pretty with the big, fluffy flakes falling all around. |
It was another great nature day! Just quite different from last week's. Can't wait to see what NEXT week brings!
Blessings!
