Unexpected snow.


We woke up to three inches of snow today. It was incredibly beautiful. Seattle generally doesn't know what to do with itself when it comes to snow and cold. This was true again today as we drove down the slushy and wet pavement, avoiding the broken tire chain someone had lost earlier that morning. Yes, a tire chain.

These things happen. Unexpected snow. Seven rainbows in a day. They are equally mystifying and beautiful. These are little journeys of who knows what or why. These are fun to bask in, contemplate, and feel the freedom that can come from sheer randomness. Though, I guess under the correct conditions, snow is in fact not random, put predictable and expected. As are rainbows. Aye, I still bask in their beauty, and the feeling of what seemed random to me at 7:1o AM as I pulled up the blinds.
