Finally, it’s snowing in Lincoln!
I layered up in my thickest winter coat, two pairs of socks and two pairs of gloves to scoop our sidewalks clean this afternoon. There’s something refreshing and rewarding about getting out in the cold weather to clean up the walkways. When I was a kid my dad couldn’t wait to get outside; he would start shoveling snow first thing in the morning. Now I can wait awhile, afterall I don’t particularly crave icy snow blowing in my face, but I do find myself enjoying the outdoors the same way he did. I like to see what is going on in the neighborhood and I can feel my desire for perfectionism rising as I try to meticulously scoop the walks the ways my neighbors do. Right now the snow continues to fall and I’m certain I’ll get to scoop at least one more time today. But for now I’ll enjoy the company of Jeremy (taking a vacation day) in our warm, cozy house.
What are the rest of you snowbound bloggers doing today?

Riding the bus and not driving! And watching a friend’s kid who didn’t have school today! Two only children screaming at each other all day long! :) (It was playful screaming…sometimes)

Working (yuck), enjoying the last few hours with my brother before he goes off to basic training in South Carolina (he was supposed to go to Omaha this afternoon, but the army evidently doesn’t like dealing with snow either… so he’ll go tomorrow. Probably).
