Let it Snow!


When it snows, you have two choices: shovel or make snow angels. ~Author Unknown

April 16 and we awaken to snow. I feel like I am stealing a page from my brother’s blog since it can snow in Calgary in May. He posts these kinds of photos regularly.

It is a crazy phenomena but if you let it get you down, then the weather wins. Driving down a busy street today, I saw a HUGE (larger than life) snowman on the corner of one of the streets. Someone had put an evergreen bough on its head so it looked like it had green, spiky hair. Whoever made it had sculpted two legs flat out in front of it to create the appearance of it having slipped and landed on its bum. I wish I had taken a photo of that. It was hilarious and speaks to the quote about the choices we sometimes have. Someone decided to beat Mother Nature at her own game and have some fun too.

I know warmer weather is coming and that the snow will be gone so at this stage I can laugh too. Besides it was so pretty this morning. Unfortunately, this probably won’t help the flood watch in a positive way. The river is rising due to ice jams breaking up last night. Maybe we should not have laughed too hard at Mother Nature. I hear she has quite the temper.

Have some fun! Make a snowman or a snow angel.

Peace,

Suzanne
