around here

i’m currently sitting at our dining room table, drinking some hot tea, looking out the window while Lily plays with the neighborhood girls at a neighbor’s house
it’s a school day and she would normally be at school at this hour but what started out as a delayed opening, turned into a full on snow day from school today
mind you, there is no snow on the ground and when it was snowing, it was very light
this will be our fourth winter here and their call on snow days still blows my mind
i don’t understand and i probably never will
anyway, i decided since i never posted around here last week and pictures keep piling up on my folder, i’d share a post of very recent happenings
hope you are all enjoying this day
snow or not
