The snow is snowing all around……………
reminds me of a poem that I had Matthew memorize several years ago. But that one was about rain. Still, it seems to fit. The snow is snowing all around, it falls on fields and trees. It snows on the umbrellas here, and on the ships at sea. I don’t see any people around with umbrellas but you know how poets are.
It has been snowing all night long and is supposed to snow all day too. After this storm goes through we are supposed to get lake effect. Then they are talking about more snow on Thursday, Friday, and Saturday. Matthew is a little miffed that I won’t pick up Brett for classes today. I usually pick him up and his mom comes and takes him home. Their car isn’t a four wheel drive and I don’t even think that it is all that great right now anyway so I don’t think it is wise to ask her to come out in all this snow. Schools all across the central part of the state are closed and municipalities are asking people to stay off the streets so that plows can do their jobs. It just seems wise to stay in. We will go to Mass and then come home and stay here. Matthew has to push snow in our driveway and the neighbors and bank the house with some more snow so he has a full plate anyway. Besides, he’ll get over it. Maybe I’ll go out and make a snowman. I kind of miss the ones that my kids used to line up outside my kitchen window for me to see.

I remember that poem. It was in one of my Childcraft books. It’s snowing here too. I just heard that our schools are closed today. They had been on a 2 hr. delay. Maybe I can get my grand-daughter to make me a snowman.
I wish I had a snow day. I also wish I was home to make snowman. Our snow here isn’t the right kind, it isn’t packy at all.
@mksmak - The snow here is too dry for snow men. It needs to warm up a little.
It seems like you have perpetual snow up there where you are! We finally got some over the past two days so I’m looking forward to taking Michael out today!
@whteroses - Enjoy your romp in the snow. I remember when I was in labor with my first. It snowed and snowed. I thought that walking in the deep snow would make him come earlier. WRONG! It only made me tired. He came on a nice COLD sunny day.
That is so beautiful. I have never seen snow that deep, only the light dustings we get in Virginia. Although, once there was just enough to make a small snowman. I put a poncho on him and named him Roberto. He lived almost 4 days! ~ L
@empress8411 - You are more than welcome to it. Come and get it. The wind is blowing now and it is getting increasingly difficult to keep this old barn of a house warm. It is now a full time job to keep both fires going so that both sides of the house stay warm. But the funny thing is that I wouldn’t live anywhere else. Go figure!
