Snow!
I'm going back through all our old pictures to document the past few weeks, but I need to take a pause in this regularly scheduled programming to show you this:
We woke up to snow this morning. It's still coming down, and we have about two inches now. Unlike Boston, this area is not equipped for snow, so everything will shut down until it melts. It's supposed to turn to rain around ten, so it should melt soon. And maybe turn into an icy mess. But right now, it's really really pretty!
As a side note, our village is pretty high (for the Cotswolds). The nearby town of Stow-on-the-Wold is the highest point in the Cotswolds at 800 feet. And as a side-side note, outside that town, the last battle of the Civil War (the English one, that is) took place in 1646 when the Parliamentarians defeated the last Royalist army. We're lower than that, as our village of Naunton is in a little valley, but not much lower. So we get snow more than most areas here. We've only lived here ten days and have already woken up to snow twice.
Here is a teaser of our front yard, covered in snow:
You can't see it too well through the snowy mist, but I love that church in the background. I'm trying to position our couch just right so I see it every time I look out the window.

Lovely!
ReplyDeleteRain here, but we were lucky to get a few inches of snow on Xmas eve and had a white Xmas, unusual for Seattle.
It snowed on Christmas in Boston, too. The kids got to go sledding and they were so excited. We are all glad it's snowed a few times here, because we all like the snow! (Well, not really Eric, but the rest of us!)
