our snow covered back yard

We don’t get much snow here in Seattle. Whenever it’s predicted the kids are glued to the windows, waiting for any sign of flakes. In the last two days we’ve been having a “significant snow event” as the weather men call it. School was cancelled before the first flake fell and everyone’s staying home. The kids spent the whole day outside, cramming all the snow fun into one day as they can, since it’s supposed to start raining again tomorrow.

I took a short walk in the neighborhood and snapped a few photos before returning to the warm indoors. I’ve been taking the time to get my dye book organized but mostly dinking around and doing a jigsaw puzzle. It’s nice to take some time off and recharge my batteries. School’s already cancelled tomorrow, too. By the time the roads clear I’ll probably be pacing the floor and more than ready to get back to the studio. For now, it’s time for surfing the web, sipping tea, and spending time with family.
