Happy Blizzard Day - March 8th, 2008

Yesterday, school dismissed two hours early due to the nasty weather that was rapidly moving into our area. Getting home wasn't too bad, but it was time-consuming, and I did see several cars off the road. Thankfully, with my new tires and brakes, I was pretty confident and I just took my time. Sprout "ooh'd and goo'd" from the backseat because this is her first real snowfall, which she faced with wonder and excitement!

Here's the morning view from the back porch, taken this morning, after the Level 2 Blizzard Warning had been issued.
It's still snowing here in southern Ohio, and we're not going anywhere this weekend. Oddly, The Ohio State University is closed today, along with other major places of interest in Columbus, Ohio. Back here in the hills, we have the perfect prescription for nasty weather: the pot roast is in the slow cooker, the bread is rising in the bread machine, and the hot cocoa is yum! Sprout is taking a nap, Andrea has made a brief cameo appearance (and went back to her room), and Herbie & Callie have been out and about (munching on mealies). It's time to kick back and relax and enjoy the snowfall - there's no shortage here! Snowball fight, anyone? Snow angels? How about a little George Harrison and a little "Give Me Love (Give Me Peace On Earth)". What a beautiful Saturday morning!

Looking at the picnic table, I think we have at least 6 to 8 inches of snow already... let it snow! Let it snow! Let it snow!
