Sunday morning, just as we set the clocks an hour ahead for "spring forward", Charlotte woke up to a few inches of snow. I quickly bundled up and took Finn out for a walk in a winter wonderland. It was still snowing at the time. This snow was the beautiful fluffy snow that floats out of the sky and just covers the earth in a white blanket.
This snow came at the perfect time for me to hit the reset button. I absolutely love walking around in the snow - everything is so fresh and quiet. It's the perfect time for some reflection. Also, Finn absolutely loves the snow. It is such a joy to see him so curious and playful.
I was at the point in life where I just was feeling ready for a change. Honestly I have been getting spring fever way early, in my defense, my students have too so I just feel it. Instead God & Mother Nature had a different idea for me. Instead of spring break and reading books by the pool in my bikini I got a fresh blanket of nice white fresh snow. I didn't realize it before but snow one more time was just what I needed.
In true Charlotte fashion, by noon, the snow was practically melted and I was able to go about my day; running errands, babysitting for a few hours, and then church. For those few hours I got with the snow in the morning it gave me something I was needing. Time to slow down and be still.
What is your favorite part about snow?
