ali sard

this is an illustration from one of my all time favorite children's books by dr. suess, "did i ever tell you how lucky you are?"

'this is poor ali sard who has to mow grass in his uncle's back yard, and it's quick growing grass and it grows as he mows it. the faster he mows it, the faster he grows it.'
anyway, i completely feel like ali sard, only not with grass-- snow!! we shovel our driveway and then what do you know? we have to shovel again. we have at least five feet and still coming down strong. i wish i could say i love it, but snow isn't my favorite thing. i do love having the kids home, the beauty of it all, and relaxing.

it's a good thing we went ice skating for abe's birthday because the roof caved in the next day. crazy. you can see it here.
