Snow Day in Albuquerque, a rare day of precipitation in the desert!

Day 128

Wednesday night it rained, mostly people in Albuquerque just stop functioning entirely-they forget how to drive in rain, they forget rain is wet, they forget what rain is basically because we see it so infrequently....

Thursday morning started with rain....turned to snow about lunchtime and kept on snowing till this morning!!!

Needless to say we have a snow day today~ yes 3-6" of snow in Albuquerque constitutes grounds for a snow day around here mostly because we just are prepped for plowing, shoveling, driving on ice, etc.

So we just stayed in....cooked Indian Fry Bread (best things EVER)....got glitter EVERYWHERE bedazzling some ornaments we are giving as gifts, had the fireplace on all day and of course sewed (more on that later)

It all started here...

...then here...normally our skies are brilliant blue, Georgia O'Keefe blue, 360 days of the year just plain blue with the occasional sandstorms thrown in...

....the kids got fully dressed and have been out almost the whole time....

...so happy...

....yes they were even out at night.....look at the ginormous snowflake I captured on film!!...

....Sokka ran outside and wanted to play so we had to annoy him by dragging him back inside to put his jacket on, thinking I might have to make him some booties too....had had a blast and ran outside several times today as well, sinking into the snow drifts that were almost over his head...


.....the jacket does NOT make him happy...nor does bringing him inside when he wants to play...the expression tells all here...

Ok back later got some more ornaments, thrifting and sewing posts to show off...
