New Prague Area Schools
My hair blows as time whizzes past this year. I had trouble believing it was already December – and now we’re almost to Christmas! The official 1st day of winter is here, and I’m not feeling prepared for THAT, either.
Arkansas doesn’t do ‘winter’ well. Instead of pretty flakes coming down and then melting off, we have ice storms and THEN snow on top of that, making tree branches and sometimes entire trees hang down into, or break off into, our 650+ foot STEEP driveway, trapping us until we can chainsaw our way out. We’re getting a bit long in the tooth to be trying to do this, but have little choice.
We’re trying to get back into the mindset of staying stocked up on everything, topping off the gas tank once a week, etc.
I really enjoy seeing PICTURES of snow, seeing children play and sled in the snow, the creative snow people and animals people create from the snow, and more – most from INSIDE, with maybe a quick walk in the snow fall, trying to catch flakes on my tongue before going back inside where it’s dry and warm.
I’m hoping Mother Nature will look kindly on us this winter, giving us some really pretty images without hazard.
