Rainbow colours in the snow.

"Look at that rainbow. It is only when the sky cries that you see the clours in the light."
Tao Shan

It was a beautiful day today - no crying in the sky. The rest of the family went snowboarding while I enjoyed the Sunday paper before going to work. They had a fantastic time, wheeching about the mountain in their gangs of boys and girls. Spook didn't get invited to join them, but crossed thier paths a few times. He said you could hear the girls before you saw them. Chattering amongst themselves all the time.
Sadly, it was raining by the time I got home and despite the children having scoured every weather website, all but one promising snow, the prospect of a school closure for the first day after the holidays, looked slim. Still, plans were made with friends and clothes were to be chosen (school or snowboarding) only at the last minute, after the morning weather reports.
