Winter. So much is going on underground and unseen.
I did have to laugh when NY1 started talking on last night’s news about “SNOWMAGEDDAN 1/11/11″ before the storm, which, as it turns out, was sort of paltry. While media hyperbole usually has me rolling my eyes, this ventured so far into the ridiculous as to be really, really funny.
Despite all the hoopla, Liev and I walked to school this morning. It was a relaxing, fun trek through bright white snow and bright yellow sunshine. Deep inside, my little son or daughter kicked away and turned somersaults… perhaps practicing for the time when s/he is on the outside making snow angels and braving the elements with us.

Yes, in New York it probably does seem silly. We haven’t seen anything like this here in Georgia since we moved here almost 8 years ago. We are on day 3 of no school and I am not sure we will have any tomorrow if it doesn’t get any warmer to melt the inch of ice of neighborhood streets.

I’m glad you didn’t get hit too hard with the snow as the weatherpeeps predicted. It snowed all day yesterday here, but again not too bad. Enjoy! xo

this hyperbole… i see what you mean… we have good laughs at how they’re wrong & wanting to catch attention over here as well !
the snow looks even prettier against the red bricks ! i wish we had more of it where I live… will you send us some across the ocean ?

Hi Cate, Thanks for stopping at my blog! The news people in Michigan are the same as yours, frequently blowing things out of proportion. I enjoyed the winter walk with you!

I think you live in one of the most beautiful buildings, I love those red bricks. Our house is made of stones, very earthy … way too earthy:)
