Southern Snow Day
Yesterday was our first snow of Winter! It was only a light dusting but enough for the schools to close. Even though I was busy working, I still love snow days. Snow days always remind me of how exciting it was to get to stay out of school and stay home to “sled” and build…

I’ll try to add some night time shots later. They were gracious in allowing me to borrow the pattern to make…
