it has been snowing here in calgary for the past couple days.
it's september. it's not supposed to be snowing!
and certainly not the kind of snow that piles up.
i would have been sad if it had snowed that kind of snow that melts when it hits the ground, because any kind of snow in september is disheartening.
but that's not the kind of snow we have been getting.
we have several inches of wet, heavy snow piled up.

power is out, schools are closed, and a good chunk of the trees in the city have been damaged by the weight the wet snow.
it is devastating.
tears have definitely been shed.
(at least by me!)
(at least by me!)
and i am even more committed to getting our family out of here.
the farther south the better.
and the sooner the better!
global warming? puh-lease.
we had to leave the house yesterday to take chet to his first day of joy-school, otherwise i probably would have hid inside all day.
but i figured since we were out, and all bundled up, i would document the nastiness.
we drove to a farm field not far from where we live and snapped a couple pictures.
holden cried the entire time. he just kept saying, 'cold. cold. cold.'
chet was slightly more enthused at the start, but ended up sobbing too.
they must be mine :)
thank goodness we harvested our vegetable garden on labor day, otherwise our summer project would be ruined!
