let it snow

This morning I was thinking that the one good thing about having no snow in winter was that you didn't end up with wet pant legs. But then I remembered that you can end up with water seeping up your pants on rainy days too. And snowy days are so much prettier than rainy ones! I wonder how long a book I could write about why snow is better than rain...

Katherine got a movie from the library based on a Thomas Hardy book. We were a bit nervous as she hated the Thomas Hardy novel she had to read for class in high school, but the story looked pretty good, and it did turn out to be a good movie (Under the Greenwood Tree, in case anyone is interested). We found out why in the special features-apparently this was one of Thomas Hardy's first novels, and one he found too light and fluffy in his later years. Viva la fluff!
