a snow day for 2.

Please don't split in half, little tree!

WOW! A Snow Day for 2! Andy now knows the sheer delight of a snow day as I do. Thankfully, the Brown Cancer Center decided to close today due to the awful ice storm that passed through Louisville! I was so thankful as I didn't have to worry about him driving on icy interstates amongst large trucks and other drivers during the awful morning commute. What a relaxing snow day we had together as we spent time cleaning, playing video games, playing boardgames, catching up on school work, and playing with Ms. Carmen. Now quite aware of the joy in a snow day, Andy must agree they are quite an early morning surprise!

While we have been truly blessed to keep our electricity, many others in our area cannot say the same. Being without cable and Internet for a few short hours today was a great exchange for staying warm in our home. Our development looks like an icy winter wonderland, but also a tree cemetery. So many of the beautiful trees in Adams Run have been lost to heavy amounts of ice weighing them down. Thankfully, while our three paper birch trees are completely bent to the ground, they have not yet split nor cracked. I'm keeping my fingers crossed for them as I continue to check on them as we are not out of the woods yet. Due to the large amount of families without electricity in Louisville, school has been canceled for the remainder of this week.

How many more days until Summer?
