It's snowing. Okay, no biggie in Wisconsin in February, but it has been a different kind of snowing the lat few days. Maybe this is normal February weather but we have not seen it in Madison during the last two winters.
Every day in the early afternoon, it begins to snow. Light flurries mostly, and it snows though out the rest of the day until night fall but only accumulates about a half inch or so. And then the next morning the sun comes out and by noon, the sidewalks are clean because the snow has melted. At least the snow has melted on my sidewalk. Many . . . Most of my "real" Wisconsin" neighbors have shoveled the walk before they go to work or take the kid to school.
Of course, after announcing our perfect daily snows, we will probably get 5 inches tonight. Still, there is a definite push towards warmer weather, just don't forget your gloves. Not quite yet.
Julia and her whole school went to see a live stage production of Lilly's Purple Plastic Purse. It was based on the kids book by the same name written by Kevin Henkes. Julia loves that book and almost all of Henkes' books, and she LOVED the play! From what the teachers said, she was willing to wear her ear plugs and her earphones to the beginning of the play and took them off when she was comfortable. When she got back to school, she started drawing a wonderful picture of Lilly and her teacher, Mr. Slinger. When she came home, she added words to the picture and made sure they were all spelled correctly. It was great.
