A Walk in the Park, And the Wild Animals We Encountered

We had snow for a day!  Today it is gone.

I forgot how the first snow of the year is still magical for the littles.  They are still enchanted by the footprints their boots make behind them; how it crunches beneath our feet as we walk.  They MUST taste it, of course, and I pretend not to notice.  I could admonish them – probably should – but I recall that there was a time that I too, succumbed to that particular temptation. 

And then, poof! Gone. It all melted away in last night’s rain.  Not that I’m complaining, ha!  It sounds like we won’t have any more of the white stuff for at least the next couple of weeks, so I’m glad that the boys and I got the chance to get out in it while it was around.
