"Earth's crammed with heaven, And every common bush afire with God, But only he who sees takes off his shoes, The rest sit 'round it and pluck blackberries."

Iowa's Lone Snow Storm

Back in December it snowed in Iowa.  Since then, we've been warm and rainy while Utah has got its dose of Iowa weather.  Can't say I'm sorry about the switcheroo.  Living in Iowa makes it very hard to be sad about global warming.  Instead, I'm prone to leave my car on more often and produce more greenhouse gases.  Okay, not really.  But honestly, I don't really care if I never experience one of those ice storms they keep telling me about.

Here is the crew all marshmellowed up to go outside and play in the snow.  I stayed in with the baby.  Very heroic of me.











I watched and took photos for awhile, and then retreated to the warm house.  The kids had a lot of fun.

I had been feeling guilty that I had not taken the boys to play in the snow, but I am too big of a wuss. Mark took them out on Saturday, which made me feel much better.
