Snow Delay!

 Today we woke up to a two-hour school snow delay! My husband is a high school math teacher, so he was the first up to celebrate. Then Evie, then Rosie and last up Son H. We had popovers for breakfast and a quiet morning as everyone headed out two hours late.

{Our tracks this morning in the snow - we have quite the crowd headed down our street!}

 I walk with Rosie and Son H to their elementary school. We are lucky that we live close to the school, and are joined every morning by a bunch of neighborhood kids and parents for the morning trip. It wakes me up in the morning!

 There is something beautiful about freshly fallen snow. I love how it clings to every needle of an evergreen. It's magic when the air is still and the snow is falling. It's as if the whole landscape is whispering "hush".

Were you lucky enough to get snow this morning?

Snowy Days

{hush}

Here near Albany, New York we've been blanketed with snow. It's a serene, white wonderland and I think this will be one of those winters where we don't see the ground until a Spring thaw. Which is fine with me. When it's cold out I enjoy this white magic.

We've had two snow days this month and the kids couldn't be happier!

If you've got the snow, enjoy it!

p.s. I've been writing APPLESandRUBIES for over four months and on the last snow day, (My Mr. is a teacher), my husband FINALLY took some time to read the blog! His comments? "Cool," he says, "I didn't know you burnt the roses!" Love you, sweetheart!
