On Saturday night while two to three inches of snow all of the older neighborhood kids went sledding at nine o’ clock at night. The first snow fall of the season is always an exciting time!At nine o’ clock the following morning, the tops of the telephone, mailboxes, and tree branches are all coated with snow giving the streets a look that could grace the cover of a postcard.
At first Matthew is afraid to go sledding down our backyard slope. After a few rides with me, he takes a few more rides with Bob. Matthew asks us to go again and again. Not too long after, he is ready to sled on his own. He takes turn after turn, and instead of being startled, he laughs the couple of times that he wipes out. We spend all morning sledding until lunchtime. And what a fun morning it was!
What fun- I'm not a winter person but I have to agree that the first snow of winter is exciting. I grew up in New England but still press my nose to the window looking for the first flake every year! I wish the big hill in back of cousin Bobby's was still sledd worthy - Matt would love that one!
