Earth Day
As I wrote yesterday, we had a good blizzard - it ended up dropping 12 inches of heavy wet snow! We lost power from 10:00 p.m. last night until 8:00 a.m. this morning, then again from 9:00 a.m. until 3:00 p.m. It was a bit chilly (and dark!) this morning when we woke up. Our poor trees couldn’t take it.
Some snapped in half
Others just bowed to the ground under the weight
Earth Day was this past weekend and Jason had been learning all about it at school. He almost made me cry yesterday afternoon when he got all bundled up and went out in the blizzard to clear the heavy snow off all the small trees in the front yard and stand them back up. Then we get in the car this morning to head to school and he said “I can’t wait to get home after school. I need to clean off all the trees so they can stand up and be happy!”
There are so many reasons I’m glad I have children . . . my favorite reason is The Simple Things
