It's the 12th of January and this is the first snow we've had since October 31st. It has hardly seemed like winter in New Hampshire. Part of me has enjoyed the lack of snow b/c with snow comes mud, sand, salt and just a general presence of grit. Git every where....the house, the mud room, the van. YUCK. And this grist stays around for months because it leads right into spring which brings mud. However, winter without snow just doesn't seem right. I love the beauty of the clean, white snow. I love to see it hanging on the branches as I look into the woods. Everything looks new and fresh. And then add to it the hours and hours of outside fun for the kids. It will get old, but for now this has been the best two days of the entire winter because the kids have spent hours and hours outside playing. They come in tired and happy and that is worth all the grit. So here you see Matthias sledding down and Samuel climbing the hill. This was their second time outside for the day. Samuel is loving it this year and is actually sledding. He must be growing up.
