    Oh my goodness, the snow can STAY wherever it is that Callie is because I do NOT want it in my backyard! Those poor people in the Northeast daling with all that white crap; UGH!!! If it fell here in NC, we'd be buried for months :)

    We had a snow day around here too although we only had about two three inches. It was pretty much melted off of everything except the grass by the end of the day.

    You can keep the snow! I didn't mind it when I was a kid but not now. That is a very cute illustration.

    Lovely illustration! I guess I feel differently about the snow. It is winter and I do live in the Northeast corridor of the U.S.; it can be avoided! There is a peacefulness about the snow falling and it forces me to slow down and be present, take care of how I step and to exercise (shoveling snow); so all in all it is a season. Besides, I do love hot chocolate! :)

    This is so appropriate and also so lovely at the same time. We are getting as much shoveled away before the nest foot of snow arrives. Stay safe!

    Hi, I used to live in New England and remember having to surrender to the weather quite often. I sort of liked it. Your illustration makes me smile.
