It has been a warm and mild winter thus far, with very little snow. Actually, we had a LITTLE at the end of last year, but not enough in which to play.
Last Monday, we got some snow. Not a lot, but we had significant flurries off and on all day and probably an inch of snow settled on the ground.
The children made a small mound of snow.
We have a small sledding hill next to the house and yes, they did some sledding. It wasn't great sledding, but it was better than nothing. We have a much larger, nicer hill in our back 3 acres but I didn't want them trekking out there, nor would it have worked as well as the grass is taller back there.
I have rather enjoyed the mild temperatures and dry roads, but I pray we have at least a couple of good snows this winter as the children enjoy it so much. And white snow is glorious. I am not a major winter enthusiast, but looking out back at snow topped grasses and frosted trees makes me praise God for making an Earth that is not only functional, but beautiful.
