Better than nothing...

We had our first true snowfall on Sunday...we even played hooky from church (GASP!!) so we could go sledding in the forest. When I woke up in the morning the whole forest was white and the snow was coming down hard with snowflakes the size of quarters. We met our friends up on the hill and we sledded, built a mini igloo neighborhood, and snowmen. Since this is my first experience living in snow here is what I have learned so far...

1. I am thankful that we have good snow clothes. We were all totally warm and dry.
2. You really can start with a small snowball and keep rolling it up like a carpet and it gets bigger and bigger!!
3. Hot chocolate and hot tea are a must after a day in the snow.
4. Igloos are hard work.
5. when it is the first snow of the season, time is of the essence...go play in it right away because it may be gone by afternoon...

Now you know what Kansas is like in the fall after the first freeze. No two trees are exactly the same color. Doesn't God use a wonderful palette of colors? You are blessed to enjoy the different seasons of the year! Appreciate the colors for me. Bud/Opa/Dad
