Wintery Wonderland





It hailed for a good 5 minutes today.

Luckily the boys and I observed this from the comfort of our warm house. When the hail started my thoughts instantly went to Ailish who is at school without a rain jacket. I'm sure she'll be fine.

The boys enjoyed getting out amongst the hail and eating it. Normally I wouldn't encourage eating off the ground but I made an exception this time.

as a kid that was one of the highlights of winter - we would run around after school scraping up the hail that had banked up against the buildings and munch on it as we hussled home to get warm!

I haven't seen hail in such a long time! Your post brought back many good memories of playing with hail like it was snow when I was a kid. I knew there was something good about winter...
