The Ice Storm at My House

I'm with a tree after the ice storm.
Toulouse is walking in the snow on our driveway. He is a good cat.

There was an ice storm at my house. The trees were snapping and I did not like that at all. I was afraid that if my mom was upstairs in the bedroom, the big Tree of Heaven in the backyard might fall on Mama's bed. But it didn't.

Nana and Kennaria, my mom's colleague, came out to our house because we have electricity and the city of Berea didn't. I love Kennaria and Nana. Kennaria was worried about her cat, Tam, so he came over, too. Tam is a good cat in the daytime but sometimes he scratches at night.

I have been out of school from Monday until Thursday, so far! Mom and I went swimming at Seabury Center one night on one of my snow days...well, ice days. I could dive very deep. And yesterday we tried sledding. The hill was really slick and I was riding in my green saucer and I leaned forward. It rolled over down the hill and I got snow in my face! I didn't like it.

I hope I get Friday off from school, too!
