Snow Day

Beware of this snowball throwing machine in a pink hat and navy coat.  

She has a great arm and impeccable aim. 

"Mommy, it's snowing!"  "Mommy, let's play in the snow!"

Then I get pummeled with snowballs and laughter.

The party only gets better and (more cuddly) when Bear joins us.

They didn't want to come inside.  Good thing I have Sorbels and a pair of wooly socks!

I stretched out my feet and pulled on

the magnificent socks and then my shoes.

The moral of my ode is this:

beauty is twice beauty

and what is good is doubly good

when it is a matter of two socks

made of wool in winter.

-Pablo Neruda
Ode to Wool Socks
