A Perfect Snow

mapsedgeI'm guessing 6", maybe 8" of snow, and it's the slightly wet kind that sticks together. Ideal snowman-making snow, and Katie's never made one. We've never had that combination of not-bitterly-cold temps, no wind, and daddy having nothing more pressing to do.
Today, we have that. That, and perfect snow.
Of course, I have to shovel, there's no getting around that. But I'm in better shape now than I was the last time it snowed like this, and I'm not dreading going out. I've already done the front walk and side porch so we can fill the bird feeders. The sparrows are in our trees, eyeing the windows like they intend to come get the seed by brute force. The blue jays have 2-way radios, and are coordinating the assault like generals on a feathered battlefield.
The few remaining tights can wait. Scripts can wait. Storyboards can wait.
