Who doesn’t love a good snow day? As a child, I remember laying in bed waiting for the community fire horns to blare at 6 am signifying that schools were closed, officially declaring it a snow day. My girls are grown but I still love me a snow day! Walks with the dogs in the snow or cozied up in the house reading or baking cookies or tackling an indoor project – all perfect options for me. I’m feeling nostalgic for the days when my girls would bundle up and go outside to make snow angels, snow tunnels or just have a good ole snowball fight. Pancake breakfasts, usually reserved for leisurely weekends, could be made because a snow day is more relaxed. Today’s children won’t know the pure bliss of a true snow day. COVID has taught us how to teach children virtually so the most they get is a half snow day maybe starting around noon. Boo. I suppose the good thing is that children are highly adaptable and will be thankful for even a half day to play in the snow. But I say – let children be children! Sound the horns!
