snowball fights, a video, & all that good stuff

2.25.2013



Dearest northerners, would you so kindly humor me for a few minutes? It doesn't snow very often or very much here in Oklahoma, but when it does, it's magical. The biggest, fluffiest, prettiest flakes fell from a slate-colored sky and it was impossible to concentrate on anything that Wednesday morning (despite the teasing from certain individuals, cough cough).

  6. I'm going to school in said North (Hello, UP Wisconsin!), but I was raised on the coast of Cali and have lived in Idaho for the past few years, so I can understand the enchantment of snowfall; how unexpected, and how lovely it is.
    And although I've now spent an entire Winter living in ridiculous amounts of snow (it has snowed at least once a day, every day, for the past 16-17 days), I still get that same feeling of excitement and captivation every time. :)

  15. did you get that lovely cuckoo clock in Germany? we have one that looks very similar, so I wonder if we got one at the same place :)
    I love this video though, and as a northerner I don't mind at all! It's fun to see how excited you are to have snow when I just wish it would go away.

    Wonderful video, and I must ask, what's your cat's name? He/she is one of the most beautiful cats I've ever seen!

    1. Yeah, the clock was my great-grandmother's and my mom brought it over from Germany this past summer. And my cat is named Pippa. She's the sweetest.

  19. Carlotta, that video is ABSOLUTELY beautiful. I LOVE it. It was so sweet to see your sister's little eyeballs gazing out the window at the snow. adorable.

    We don't get snow here. I can imagine that it'd be lovely, and that all I'd want to do is gaze out the window with a cup of tea in hand and a notebook nearby, or go dance in the snowflakes with my siblings. :))

    Blessings!

  20. What an exquisite little film. I wish we were getting some of that snow here in North Carolina...!

  21. Love this. And okay, I must admit that actually looks like a pretty decent snow day. But like Hannah said, we are the masters of mockery when it comes to snow days. So don't expect me to say that again.

    Love you tons.

  29. I am now a Northerner (a Chicagoan) but I spent most of my childhood on coast of NC. Snow rarely came, and when it did, it was a cause for celebration! You captured the excitement well. :)

  30. Ooooh I LOVE that video you made! So magical!

  31. Wow, I wish I could imagine what it's like to have it actually snowing like that, outside of my house. But I can't...guess that's what come of being an Australian.

  34. You make snow look magical to me - quite a feat, considering white is all I've seen outside every window for the past three and a half months.
