It looked a near thing for a while this morning. A no-snow snow day, possibly. School was called, as it sometimes is here, on the threat of snow. (And before you get all weird and self-righteous, please remember that this is the Tidewater, people. We're not quite equipped for winter around here.)

But finally, finally it started snowing. It's been so cold, that we've got instant gratification with immediate sticking to rooftops, fire pits and roads.

I love this little chalkboard. I stole the idea from Pottery Barn and hung it by the door. It tells all of our pertinent thoughts. Early Dismissal, Don't forget swim stuff, football scores, how many days til Christmas and lately, our heart's desire. Let it snow.

Is it too much to hope for a white Christmas?
