Emma's first snow

So it snowed this past Saturday. Well, I guess you'd call it snow- its probably considered more of a dusting. Nonetheless, it was enough to make Emma freak out. When I first let her out in the morning I wasn't even thinking about the fact that she had never seen snow before. She sort of stopped at the edge of the back porch and sniffed at it a bit. Once she realized it was nothing more than a field of slushy ice she went bezerek. She tends to lick everything alot in the first place but she started licking the snow off the back porch in this spiral design and then licked the stairs and the grass, and the leaves, and the trees. She had a good time and by the time I finally tricked her into coming inside she was covered in tiny icicles.

Watching her get excited about snow made me excited about snow. I hope it snows again soon. I'm not holding my breath. Winter lasts about a week in NC. Oh well, its better than nothing. I should hold my tongue. Last time I said something like we got a horrible ice storm that left a half inch blanket of ice all over everything.
