Snow- my relationship with snow is complicated. I grew up in Montreal so snow is in my soul. I have very fond memories of playing outside, uninterrupted and certainly never monitored ( it was ever so long ago when parents sent their children off for the day only to come for supper time). I was a mountain child, skiing at a very young age, crashing over moguls until my legs wobbled. I really, really had fun in the snow. But then, it would turn dirty and yucky looking, spotted by car exhaust and dog droppings. And of course, as I got older, there was the incessant shovelling, and then as I learned to drive, the getting in and out of stuck areas, tires spinning.

But here, at Terra Nova, it is pretty hard not to feel anything but pure love for the snow- it is so white, shining and sparkling in the sunshine and when children say things like “It is so beautiful” I just have to agree. Enjoy some photos from this week- we had way more but technical difficulties prevent me from uploading them- sorry!

In gratitude,

Emily
