early this morning it snowed!! not very much-- only an inch or two-- but it's beautiful. i was getting pretty tired of the grey days and matching grey stone sullen houses everywhere so this is a welcome change. i have no idea how the roads are but if they're not too bad i may head to the grocery store this afternoon. if not, i'm relatively stocked with provisions until tomorrow. there is something very cozy about snow, at least to me. this is the first snow i've seen in a while and it's pretty. N., from costa rica, has never experienced snow and it's fun to watch her ooh and ahh.
my mother will be here soon with promises of instant oatmeal and green extra gum and fleece sweatshirts. and promises of mom-ness. can't wait.
