It Snowed!
Wheelbarrow in the back yard
You know it’s going to be a good day when the cat wakes you up at 7 a.m., and in the low dawn light you can see that it snowed last night. Suddenly, instead of begrudgingly rolling out of bed, you flip the comforter back and slip on a pair of fleece pants and a sweatshirt. One day in 365 starts like this in Seattle and you aren’t going to miss it!
The cats of course wanted nothing to do with the snow. They paced back and forth on the porch outside their cat door, not quite sure what to do. It wasn’t until our rolling snowball cleared a path that they started to venture forth.
The snow was the perfect consistency for making snowballs and snowmen. Our first creation was about as tall as us.
We decided he needed a friend, so we made a second one.
Our next stop was my parents house. They are constructing a new dock on Lake Washington and my dad had invited us to tour the barge that was parked just off shore. We had no idea how big it was until we got there. The crane towers above their three story house.
The ducks came to visit the barge too.
It was barely 10:30 by the time all this was done, so we set off for the mountains. Cross country skiing at Snoqualmie was free and we weren’t about to miss that opportunity.
Shortly after we got home, however, tragedy struck. Our largest snowman took a tumble. So sad!
