It's not generally considered the best treatment for a cold and severe laryngitis to play in the snow, but the sky was so blue and the sun so inviting and the snow so perfectly white and perfect for making snowballs and snow men that when the rest of the family went out to enjoy it I couldn't resist accompanying them. I had planned merely to watch, but as I said, the snow was perfect.
At least I never had a chance to get cold; the grandsons saw to that. We made a lovely snowman with a carrot nose, and then engaged in a wild battle. I don't know what the effort did for my cold, but the experience was exhilarating. We Florida girls don't get much opportunity for that kind of fun.
And my voice is no worse, not that it can get much further gone than completely. I'm learning a lot about how much I chatter when given the opportunity. :(
