California Snow

The other day when I was teaching Spanish at my kids school,  

there was a warm blustery wind blowing 

all the white blossoms

off of the flowering pear trees.  It appeared as if

snow was falling everywhere, and looked

like something out of a fairy tale
or fantasy film.

Of course I didn't have my camera with me

to film this magical sight.  :(  

That's my kind of snow-
76 degrees outside, with
beautiful white petals
swirling all around
my body.

There is only one impediment:

We do get snow in California, but not

the area where I live.

I do volunteer work with Lainey's church

group and our activity this same day was on

respecting the earth.

I've taught my kids to use
their sand buckets to
pick up litter, and
we try to leave
the park cleaner
than how we found it.

When we arrived at the park to do 

clean up, there wasn't any trash! haha

So much for our activity plan. 

But there were piles of white

blossoms all over the ground
from the earlier wind
that morning.  

The girls had a blast filling up

their sand buckets and letting

the wind blow the fallen blossoms 

away.   I had my camera 

this time:

The girls shouted out "It's a wedding!"
