Beautiful Snow


It was so wonderful to wake up to this today!
I must admit,
I'm a bit obsessed with my weather app(s)
on my phone.
Snow was not expected.
It got me thinking.
There aren't many surprises in life anymore are there?
We can predict so much these days.
I'm not sure if that's good or bad.


Yesterday was my mom's birthday.
After the older kids got off to school,
Griffin and I jumped on the ferry to the Vineyard.
We spent the day with my mom
and sister and her kids.


I had only planned on staying for lunch.
But we were having such a great time,
we stayed for dinner too.
Happy Birthday Mom!


We also celebrated Steve's birthday on the 5th.
FORTY FIVE.
Wow.
I love that he's older than me.
I always feel so young on his birthday.
:)

Happy Birthday Steve!

  1. your snow picture made me sigh. I would give anything for some substanial snow. This is a freaky winter with weather...and like you, I keep checking the weather apps and there is no snow predicted. So crazy! MN is known for their snowy winters.

    Taking a ferry to the vineyard sounds like a perfect little adventure for you and your wee one.

  3. What beautiful pictures, Pam. As lovely as this warm weather has been, I wouldn't mind at least one or two snowfalls, (preferably not in March). Quiet, snowy mornings are always such a nice surprise.

    Have a great day!

  4. The snow looks amazing. It's 42 here today, and rainy, and if you look close enough you can see a few flurries, but obviously nothing is really coming down as snow. Enjoy it!
