WinterWonderland

Well, welcome to Chicago, IL---home of snowy weather. And boy did we have it. It snows, clears the next day, snows the next day on top of what was already there, gets beautiful the next day (while still being frigid), then snows a little more-----sometimes a lot more! Such is the case of this week. It has already snowed quite a bit. And it just keeps piling! Bless those people who have all pitched in to help us shovel our driveway!

Well, tonight we are supposed to get a heap more. This is the time of year when I feel like curling up with a good book in hand, next to my heater with a bowl of popcorn! Course I would REALLY prefer to be in front of my fireplace in Indiana after my dad has just built the perfect fire. But alas, this too will come soon enough. For tonight, I literally sit waiting to see if we really are going to get those 12 inches of snow. I hope it waits. My students need safe weather to travel in and there are so many last minute details to do before the holidays hit. But I guess I can't stop it from coming. And who really wants to. I must say it is quite beautiful outside. It is a perfect snow----light, white and fluffy! If I were maybe a few years younger and fatter, I might go play in it. But not this week. This week I am content to watch it come down from inside.
