Let It Snow

 I have often told my children of the heavy snowfall we had when I was a child. I think they believed I was just an old lady exaggerating my memories.

I remember going out on Halloween to trick or treat with a light snow falling. It was no big deal.

By the end of November we usually were in a white world. Over the River and Through the Woods is written about a family on their way to Grandma's house for Thanksgiving. A sleigh was the method of transportation because of all the snow.

When we lived in town we walked to school. Weather did not make a difference. Of course I walked to school in the snow. Sometimes school was up a slight hill. I always had shoes. 

Right at this very moment we have about 10 inches of snow on the ground. My son said it looks like the snow I used to tell them about. 

I miss building a snowman, snowball fights, and making snow angels. Kids around here do not seem to do that. Pity.

At my age I worry about falling. So I stay inside a lot. But I have a window from top of the door to the floor that I watch all sorts of creatures playing in the snow.
