Finally. We’ve been waiting for a storm like yesterday's. 10 inches of beautiful, fluffy, white snow to protect our gardens and septic systems.
What yesterday gave me most of all was a Snow Day. The two most precious and exciting words for any kid who grew up in Minnesota. A day to stop, relax, watch Christmas specials, start my Christmas baking (Peanut Butter Blossoms – yum!), and hang out with my family. I don’t know about you but my fall was busy – school and activities began, a conference or two to attend, families to visit and to visit us, meetings, meetings, meetings. Fall wakes everyone up from the laziness of summer and a Snow Day brought me back down to earth. I am now ready to wait - for the days to get the longer; for the snow to fall; and the coming Christ Child.
God of all life,
Wake us up!
Re-create us,
Surprise us,
Challenge us,
That we may be ready to greet your light
And walk with joy through the day.
Jan Berry.

Oh cookies! The snow left me feeling a little different. I had to be out all day and driving was treacherous. Then, I got to come home and shovel. And to top it off, it prevented me from driving to see my boyfriend.
I'm sure the snow and I will make up soon.
