Snow Day

We got about 4 inches of snow today which is cause for great celebration here at Chez Z.  Everyone got to sleep late as school was canceled and there have been snowball fights, snow angels, and hot chocolate.  I'm pretty sure that a snowman is currently underway. 

One thing that has struck me repeatedly is how clean and pristine snow makes things look when it's new.  It seems fitting that it would happen today, of all days, as our country undergoes a sea change.  While the snow doesn't remove what's underneath, it gives you a space to reflect what beauty is possible.  Here's to new beginnings and starting afresh.
