Snow Day

We got four phone calls telling church would be canceled today because of the snow. One thing I love about living in Massachusetts is that on Sundays the churches that have canceled services due to snow scroll along the bottom of the TV screen the same way the names of canceled school districts scroll on weekdays. I laughed when I first saw that.

It’s finally stopped snowing. It snowed about 28 hours straight. I shoveled the driveway three times and I’ll have to go out one more time. Yesterday afternoon I took Bri shopping for a dress and it was horribly busy considering the crappy weather. We almost didn’t make it up the hill to our house. I called J. and said I’m stuck halfway up the hill please come fix this.

Singing in the Rain

Boston is ugly during the winter when the snow is grungy, the trees are leafless, and you can see all the trash and sand. Then suddenly the trees erupt into blossom and everything greens up and fills in and it’s gorgeous. It’s like looking at the cherry blossoms in D.C. Suddenly the world is in Technicolor. Even the rain seems to bring out the deep green of the lawns.
