Bizzare Blizzard

Julia and i arrived home from our morning Midwife appointment, enjoying the sunny clear sky and the very chilly air. Soon after coming home we decided a walk to the park would make our day delightful....and a collection of winter clothing was necessary due to the previously mentioned chilly air.
We had not yet crossed the road south of our abode, when a gust of icy (no longer just CHILLY) air rushed past us. And with it a cloud; or a fog of sorts followed. Billowing swoops of snowflakes; first tiny and sparklish in size, then increasing to full fluffs of powdery snow, blew down the street. (for those that have seen Lord of the Rings, it was similar to the clouds of ghost soldiers in the last battle) A swift moving grayness that poured snow and cold upon us.

Needless to say. our walk to the park was a walk across the street and back. our autumn clothes did not hold up against the nasty-ice-like wind.


Well, that was our bizzare Blizzard. Tonight my Parents arrive from their maritime exploration to join our snowy cold-ness.

on a funny note: i met a lady from church at my midwife office and she was telling me about "how advanced julia is", to which i smile and say, "oh?" knowing a funny story will follow.
Aparently in the children's room at church one day a girl was chewing gum and julia made the observation that, "It smells like mint", which is not a usual thing for a little girl to say. hahahaha. Julia's knowledge is of the odd things her mind enjoys and we then explore together (ie// maps, letters, trees, animals, God, etc).
it is very thrilling to see a mind at work, to hear thoughts and fears and dreams come out of her mouth and then (when we have time) explore them.

Love to all.
