In Celebration of Snow

We have had such a dry January that we've been praying for precipitation. Wanting snow probably sounds crazy to those of you who have more than you know what to do with it, but we haven't gotten any all month. So when we woke up this morning to snow on the ground, we did a little snow dance. Then Desert Girl put on her snow gear and we went outside.

The first order of business was to catch some snowflakes on our tongues. We were successful!

Then Desert Girl couldn't resist making some snow angels. (and catching more snowflakes on her tongue)

Next it was time to look at tracks:
Ours
Our dog, Henry's tracks

And can you figure out these?
 These are snow tracks. Meaning snow left the impressions--after it fell off a power line.

 We had to include a little snowball fight.

 I love looking at the snow patterns everywhere, although they can be challenging to photograph. We have almost two inches of snow this morning, and it's supposed to snow all day, bringing us a couple more inches.  Let it snow!
