Snow Day #2

Welcome to Northern Michigan, where winter has decided to become a permanent fixture for this winter season. Winter lasts 6 months in these parts. Sunshine is rarely seen, it is dark and gray and if you have Bi-Polar disorder(I don't), you have to invest in one of those sunshine lights and place your face in front of it for a couple hours a day.

This is our weather forecast today. Lovely isn't it? It is becoming a weekly tradition and today is snow day number two for my kids, and their 4 day holiday weekend just turned into five. Last Monday they had their first snow day of the season and I believe our school system allows 6 snow days for the school year. So unless Mother Nature starts taking her medication, my kids could be going to school well into mid June.

Here is our lovely weather outside. Isn't it delightful? A nice, heavy, wet snow which I'm hoping doesn't pull down any power lines anytime soon.

Let it snow, let it snow, let it snow. This is one of our hay fields and I'm trying to picture bales of sweet smelling hay filling it. Oh summer seems so long ago.

Here is the view I woke up to looking out my bedroom window except I couldn't see a whole lot. Just a whole lot of white!

Yes, Mother Nature has left her mark again, so I must face the elements and put on my big girl snowpants and embrace this Northern Michigan weather.
