It really did ... thick fluttery white flakes ... which almost settled ... Anika's first snow, first snow at the house. The peacefulness of it .. I love it .... even though there were a few birds still twittering. Floyd was dashing about - not sure what it was. Anika arrived inside 5 minutes later - crying her little eyes out - face all blotchy - yes she had experienced her first snow ... no gloves .... and her hands were freezing.
Anika will have to change the book she wrote about winter now. "The snow is not at our place." is no longer correct !
Hazel still oblivious to it all - happily sucked on her toys. She is now able to grab stuff - catch a ball and hold her toes. She is definitely growing, becoming more dexterous and learning through sucking.
Hazel and I had an awesome day at Te Papa yesterday. I was helping out at our Enviroschools Regional Event and Hazel was being loved by all ... even Woody Weed - our local pest Super Hero.
It was great to see the students sharing their knowledge with the experts from the Plant Conservation Conference and then asking them questions. We also had a really interesting session on native plants and their medicinal properties. We managed to get over the Rimutakas before the snow arrived and closed it.
