Still More Snow

I'm starting to feel a little silly posting about snow again. If we were still living in Wyoming, I guarantee every appearance of snow would not warrant a post. But here's my reasoning... From what we've been told, this snow thing in Southeast Texas is pretty rare. Kevin went to a high school graduation last year at which the graduating seniors cited "seeing snow for the first time in my life" as one of the highlights of their senior year. So I figure if we are having a few episodes of snow this year, I need to chronicle it for the sake of our kids, who may look back and remember this as one of the few snows of their growing-up years in Kurten. We'll see...

Anyway, this was the first snow that has actually accumulated on the ground, and Naomi and Johnathan were itching to get out in it. I have to confess, the pictures I took are from my viewing spot inside the front window! I was too wimpy to get cold and wet out there with them!

It was a beautiful snow, falling in huge globs all afternoon. It very considerately left the sidewalks and roads clear (no shoveling!). But I think the spingtime robins and other migratory birds were a little perplexed - they congregated in big flocks in the trees and looked consternated!
