I LOVE SNOW

I mean it.  I looooove snow!  It makes any day better, even if you don't get a snow day.  It's beautiful and fluffy and fun!  It makes hot cocoa taste better, it makes slippers snugglier, it's just good.  We've got some giant flakes coming down today, the best snow I've seen since living here and quite possibly since I moved away from Connecticut (17 years ago).  It's incredibly light and fluffy!  Not great for snowballs, but man if we had hills in Kansas this would be great to ski on!

And then you have Jazz and Bo who also love snow 

They run and play and dig and root and get so crazy energized from the fun of it all that they end up wrestling.

Then we come inside and they look like this:

Storms

I LOVE STORMS.

Especially thunder storms! Some of my fondest memories are laying on a sidewalk with a friend during a storm and letting the rain soak us, watching thunderstorms roll in at college for hours at a time, and flying in an airplane right next to an electrical storm watching the light show.

I think I love them so much because they reflect the power and awesomeness of God so much. In Daniel 10:6 it says that Christ's face looks like lightning. I can't even imagine!

The sound of rain on a roof is one of the best. During my summers in college I worked at a camp in New Hampshire and the cabin that I lived in was in the woods. When it would storm the rain would fall and 3 of my 4 cabin walls were mostly screens so I could hear the rain dripping off the trees and hitting my roof. It was serene.

We had some good thunder here today but not much. Very short abbreviated storms. I'm sure we'll get more though!
