The White Stuff

We are having the most lovely, slow, peaceful, heavy snowfall today. Our last snowfall, on Christmas Eve, was more of a blizzard - icy, pelting, horizontal snow and sleet. I can't help staring at the stillness of today - the skeletal trees, the smooth yards, the coin-sized flakes - and gearing up for the snowball fight that will have to happen when the boys get home from school.
