Patton's First Snow

Here in Wisconsin we had our first significant snow on Friday. (Yes, I know we had snow in October and November, but really, did we have to shovel any of that. A half inch hardly can be considered "a snow".) Patton had a ball. Watching him play in the snow, throwing sticks and leaves that he finds into the air and then trying to find them again, it saddened me to think that this would be the only snow that he would be able to really play in this year. Once he has surgery he is down for the count for at least 4-6 weeks, no running, no jumping, and no playing in the snow.
