Snow, Smiles, Snowdrifts, Sunday Sunshine

We've all been abuzz this week about the tremendous snowstorm that hit our area Friday night and Saturday dumping over two feet of snow, stranding vehicles and leaving many without power.

However, the beauty of the snow and the cold, crisp air is undeniable, particularly if one doesn't have to actually go anywhere...which we didn't. We spent the weekend watching weather updates, monitoring the snow accumulation, and shoveling, shoveling, shoveling. The best thing Sunday? The beautiful sunshine and clear, blue skies which made us want to explore and enjoy the beauty of the neighborhood.

Kate's disappointment? Starbucks in our neighborhood was still closed. My pleasant surprise? Our newspaper carrier managed to deliver our Washington Post every day of the storm.

Greetings from snowy Maryland...
