Snow today. Again. I haven’t heard the official totals, but I’m guessing 6 inches? I think our school district is bound and determined not to add any more snow makeup days to the end of the school year. By golly they’re going to get those kids to school come hell or high snow drifts. Then let them out early. That way they get to count it as a day.
Today they let them out at noon. As soon as the kids were home the snow stopped, and the winds never came up like they were supposed to. Heh.
As soon as the bus left this morning I suited up, grabbed the camera, and traipsed around in an effort to compose an ode to my kids’ favorite winter book. I even climbed cornstalk bales to get a few shots! What I won’t do for a picture of a cow. And how I was hoping I wouldn’t fall in between the bales and be stuck there until afternoon chores.
So do you know what book this is?
The snow gently covered One with a white blanket
The snow gently covered Two with a white blanket
The snow gently covered Three with a white blanket
The snow gently covered Four with a white blanket. (Okay, so I had to make a slight substitution here.)
The snow did not gently cover Five with a white blanket in our story, because our Five is smart enough to stay in out of the snow.
Did you get it?

I didn’t quite get it, but that’s just me. I loved your story, though….especially the photos!And I don’t know how I’ve not ever heard of that Eric Carle book. I’ll have to get it for my kids. I know they’ll love it.They’d probably love the Blog photos of your critters even more, though!
I got it – and loved it!!! Showed it to hubby, and his response was -“go figure, a chicken would be smarter than a cow.” Isn’t it amazing, the things we go to for the animals, and think it’s so fun??Kris
Loved the photos Kelli, what a great little story! And I’m not the least bit suprised by the hen!! 😉
we love eric carle around here. we don’t have that book though. great photo-illustrated story.
