Snow days are pure magic.
My winter garden in a blizzard.
I'm retired, so I have no pressing or urgent need to be anywhere. I can work or not work at my own pace. Still, snow days are surprise presents from the sky and out of our control. They just happen and it's the randomness that makes a snow day such a welcome gift. It's like being given a get out of jail free card and I can relax without a schedule or feeling guilt.
I love snow days! Kathleen, my lodger was called early in the morning - college closed - brilliant! Back to bed she went. I woke up to that wonderful silence that accompanies heavy snow falls. I looked out at the pristine unploughed world that is my garden and smiled with the recollected joy of my childhood. Yay it's a *snow day*.
I spent the day in my jammies. I read, wrote birthday cards, played on my computer and briefly went outside in big tall boots, over my pj pants, to smell the air.
Willy, my adventurous little cat tried gingerly high stepping it over the snow. No, not so good, so he walked all around my deck banister and over my window sill to get back inside. I took some winter photos and came in as well.
We ended the day with a splendid supper by relaxing fire. Kathleen, Willy and I spent a perfect winter day. We were blessed with lots of snow.
