After spending 3 weeks in the desert, it's been quite a shock to return to Mother Nature's new winter regime for Vancouver Island. Normally we have overcast days with steady drizzle, and snow once if we're lucky. Since November, however, we've been offered up a steady diet of gale force winds, torrential rain, or steady snow (choose up to 3 at any one time), seasoned with power outages and tree branches tossed through windows, and served with a biting chill.
Today it's back to snow. Michael donned his shining armour by taking Kieran to school, leaving Liam and I to enjoy a bit of the morning's offerings. I loved the shades of grey, and Liam discovered that sledding is even fun by yourself.
