Today is the first time this winter we have snow in the city of Portland. The kids are happy - they have another day of no school. The parents are happy, or at least some parents are happy that they have another day to spend with their children and escape the brunt of a work day.
It is a beautiful winter wonderland out there, folks. There's hardly any traffic and families are outside playing in the snow - throwing snowballs, sledding, and some people even ditched their cars and bring out their cross country skis as their means of transportation today.
I love days like this, where everyone is outside and playing and you can hear kids laughing, having fun and screaming with joy. It feels like time stop for a little while and nobody is in a rush to get anywhere. Everyone is just being mellow, hanging out with their families, and enjoying the tranquility of the day! Wow!
