A snowy wednesday...

Snow
I went and filled a bowl with snow this morning to let my two year old play with it inside
since then, I have made a couple more trips out doors to fill the bowl up...we both have enjoyed eating it and he has thrown more on the floor and at the cats than anything else...I am tired of snow, I wish it would get warm and spring would come but then, we get a beautiful coating of fresh snow and how can you not love it? Something I found out this year about snowflakes is that at the center of each snowflake is a speck of dust..without that, the snowflake can never form...then I read another article that said we shouldn't eat snow because of all the dirt in it...I am not talking about yellow, dirty snow we all know better than to eat, but the author said catching snowflakes on your tongue or picking up a handfull of fresh fallen snow and eating it...what would happen to winter childhood if we couldn't catch the snowflakes? I would rather have the speck of dust, thank you very much..now..my two year old and I have some more snow to eat....
