In October, a falconer came to speak to our Classical Conversations group and told us that physical changes in his birds indicated we were in for a hard winter. So far, the falconer and his birds have been right. It's been a snowier than usual winter so far.
On Friday, we travelled north to Missouri to visit my parents when the weatherman was predicting less than an inch of snow. We arrived to snow-accumulation of forecasts of 6 to 10 inches. We decided to cut our visit short and high-tail it back to Oklahoma a day early.
As my Facebook feed fills up with pictures of jack-knifed trailers alone I-44, I'm glad we did. Instead of inching alone the interstate in the snow, we're nestled at home with a fire in the fireplace and chili simmering on the stove.
Our evening church services have also been cancelled, allowing me extra time to put the finishing touches on lesson plans for our first Classical Conversations meeting of 2014 on Monday.
