Snow Days

Snow Days.

Didn't we all love them! 

A play day, a fun day, a romping in the snow day. 

Unfortunately they were few and far between.
If the side road was impassable The Old Farmer's children

had to hike to the top of the hill on the main road to catch the bus! 

When we had one we made the most of it.
One of this Old Farmer's daughter favorite memories of a day at home

would be when The Old Farmer's wife covered a card table with
a blanket to make a tent, a cave, an igloo! 

We would use a dining room chair as a doorway
to crawl into the cozy space. 

When getting outdoors in our snowsuits

we would play fox and goose, making concentric circle paths

in the snow with a cross through them to a safe space in the center. 

When the fox caught a goose (one of the other players)

they became the fox until they could catch a "goose". 

There was a lot of slipping and falling down in the 

bulky suits which were hard to move in!
