Snow Day




I awoke before dawn (easy to do these days) and peered out at the white roof tops. The street lamps lit the swirling snow beneath. I ran down the stairs and saw David’s light on so I opened the door. He was awake and looking at his computer for snow closures. It was cold so I got into bed with him and we listened to the radio for news of school closures, but Portland Public Schools wasn’t among them. Still, it didn’t look like a school day to me. The snow was falling thick and fast.

We declared it a snow day long before Portland Public Schools did. It’s gorgeous out there. And quite unexpected. The weather forecast was for 40 degree weather, but it’s resolutely staying in the high 20’s today.

Sort and white, silent and peaceful. I love snow days. We all sat around in the kitchen and marveled at our good luck.

Hi Seiza, What a terrific photo! You look really well and happy and the background makes me want to breathe in the fresh snowy air. It has been snowing here in Corvallis, too. It is just so cleansing, peaceful and beautiful:)
