Today is a good snow day. We are expected to get 6-10 inches of the beautiful white stuff today - all day (we won't talk about the very cold temps that will also be coming later).
January in the Midwest, is well...a little boring...I am sorry to all my neighbors but there is not really a whole bunch to do here when it snows other than shovel and wait for spring.
No skiing....
Lovely cross-country skiing- nothing - snow mobile enthusiast, not in the burbs. You could go ice skating - but that is indoors and you could do that in July here.....really, indoor ice skating - yuck!!
Even Bella was going stir crazy!!!
But today there was hope for some serious play....she noticed it first - like a snow sentinel... and out the door she ran.....new coat - favorite stick....it was GREAT!!
She played and played....like we all use to do when we were kids, when a big storm meant lots of adventures and was not a concern - a huge snow fort for the best snowball fight around, a hike in the woods, sledding down some serious hills - Remember? When did we all forget about how much pure joy a good snow brought. The news is on in the background warning about this dire emergency - its snow people.....
Are you kidding me??
When did winter become cold and scary?? Take care of yourself, your neighbors, dress appropriately and you will be fine.....and oh yeah.....HAVE FUN!! Studies show that if you have less stress and have more enjoyable moments you will sleep better.....
