Snow!

It snowed gobs of snow today--from early in the morning it was accumulating on trees and cars, etc. My kids saw other kids having a snowball fight and buiding snowmen in the afternoon when it was melting into the ground but nice and sticky. The plan was also to make an attempt at it ourselves after lunch but we ended up staying inside until early evening when we took Pea to the green. The kids (don't know if I had ever mentioned this idea to them before) started eating snow and Jesse remarked how amazing it was and offered me some to which I said "No thanks" But I had to tell him how I used to eat snow with syrup. I'm not sure that is info I should have given him.

I must go to bed now. Must admit I am tired of having Darren gone. It has been good but now I think I am done with being alone with the 3. Perhaps tomorrow will be nice and refreshing though, as J is back in school and he is soooo excited about it. Now Lu is on break so she will be coming to the farm with me.

Had a day of going to church in the snow, eating parsnip, turnip, carrot cardamom soup, and doing 3 video chats with East Coast family. Will have to work on the West Coast ones now.

Sidenote: I have to admit that I miss watching Oprah so I think Jennifer and I will sometime watch Oprah together. I realized that I can see her TV screen pretty clearly on Ichat video. And it will be on at a better time for me--9 p.m. instead of 4. I also realized that the kids (only once in a blue moon!) could actually have Jennifer turn on the children's programming for my kids. What a hoot this technology could be.
