Morning Surprises

Yesterday as we walked to school, we saw a big rainbow. It faded pretty quickly but we enjoyed it while we could. The sun was just rising and there were many clouds in the sky. They were ripply and had a greenish color to them. Anna said it looked like an upside down ocean. Also, the sunlight hit one building downtown that just made it glow but none of the buildings around it. Some very interesting weather special effects. That's why I enjoy walking Anna to school. Otherwise, we probably wouldn't notice those things.

Today we woke up and the roofs looked frosty. Anna said she thought it was snow, but I didn't see it anywhere but on the roofs. However, when I looked out the living room window, there was a trace of snow in our yard. Anna said she wished it would snow more and about 5 minutes later we look out the window and it is snowing! Anna was so excited.

"I can't believe it's snowing!"

We walked to school in the snow and there were some pretty big flakes. By the time we got down to the flat part, the snow started slowing down. Anna was jibber-jabbering the whole way about snow because she was so happy about it. But by the time I had walked back to the house, it had stopped.
