Snow Time!
The first snow fall of the winter was AWESOME!! Instead of the usual dusting that comes and is gone in five minutes, we got a ton of snow overnight, easily enough for sledding!
That was great for me because the kids had a huge incentive to get through the morning routine and out the door as quickly as possible. (Finnur’s in Berlin on a short work trip.) Yay! (12 images total)
Bjarki all geared up, wearing Anna’s old snow-suit.
Off to school, and the sledding hill there.
Later in the morning I went out again to take some photos of leaves vs. snow.
Snow muting vivid colors.
Nobody expects a ton of snow on the second or third frozen day in the fall season!
Nicely orange.
Snow-fall-magnitude image. Anna cleared some snow off of our car before heading off to school.
Reds and whites.
Pretty reds in our neighbors’ hedge. (Ours just went yellow and then black.)
A watery leaf. The weather prediction foretold rain later in the day, a short frozen spell tomorrow, and then increasing temps.
Meanwhile, Emma was inside, practicing her moves.
Concentrating…
… and Sitting!! Score! 🙂
