Where are all the kids?
Sunday afternoon. Dolores and I walked to downtown and back. We saw a couple of snowmen. We saw a few kids digging some tunnels in the snow. We did see evidence of some snow forts and a snow ball fight that had happened.
And when we walked by Fletcher Field, the snow was unbroken. Glistening in the snow light.
6,000 kids in the school system. Gorgeous Sunday afternoon. Plenty of snow...
Where are all the kids?

TED: Kids need structure (video)
"Always be looking for that which you do well and that which you love doing, and when you find those two things together — man, you got it.” (Colin Powell)
"So, I tell young people everywhere, it ain't where you start in life, it's what you do with life that determines where you end up in life, and you are blessed to be living in a country that, no matter where you start, you have opportunities so long as you believe in yourself, you believe in the society and the country, and you believe that you can self-improve and educate yourself as you go along. And that's the key to success." Colin Powell

After Nemo (photo essay)
Walking around Franklin on Saturday afternoon and then again on Sunday provided some good photo opportunities.
Parmenter School is ready to open two hours late today
The Museum, in the snow, with the setting sun.... looking good!
I am not sure that the brand managers would appreciate with Mother Nature did with their sign!
The roads are narrow, be careful moving about
When walking Sunday, the street sign was able to reveal its name. The snow had cleared. (see below)
The corner of King St and Summer St heading into Franklin was piled high
The travel ban was still in effect and folks were abiding by it. Only a few snow plows came by during our walk on Saturday.
Sunday brought bright sunshine
Many yards slope and how the wind played with the snow revealed some interesting combinations
One of the Franklin Housing Association buildings has this nice big snow curve hanging there
The connections are made one flake at a time
The mystery sign is appropriately Winter St.
