In my now ten years of motherhood, I have had all sorts of wonderful handmade Mother's Day gifts bestowed in my honor by our six children but snow day must be up there in the top Mother's Day surprises to come my way.
Our family lives in Sauquoit, and awoke to white clinging to the trees, coating the vegetables in the garden, weighing down the lilacs and apple blossoms and leaving four inches of the fluffy white stuff on the ground beneath our feet as we left for church.
Happy Mother's Day to all the moms of the Mohawk Valley, I'm sure the white stuff will be gone soon enough.
