Is it Soup, Yet?

The last dusting that we got was just a dusting that primed the earth for the real deal which we got last night. It was a surprise from heaven, like an old friend coming a long way to visit me. SNOW! SNOW!
My superintendent of school call came at 5:33, just as I was heating the water for the breakfast ritual. Yea! Go back to bed mommy! I did too! I enjoyed another hour or two in my bed before I was awakened, the little ones and big ones too were all covered in the snow and occupied with the outdoors. Of course, with no mommy to dress them, they forgot to put on their warm coats and now I shall have to make soup.
My mommy's soup was delicious and we had a fresh pot after Christmas and after Thanksgiving and today would have been a perfect day for mom's soup. My mom's soup never had too much of any of the yucky stuff, like when dad made soup. He would put anything into the pot and there were all kinds of visible vegetables, yuck! Mom's soup had daintily chopped tiny items that you would never guess were veggies. Are there onions in this? Just eat it and stop analyzing please! Are there vegetables in this? Be quiet and let us finish our food. I was always analysing my bowl and my plate, looking for bones and such. Items to put under the microscope. Just shut up and eat! I did and that was the most delicious soup I will ever eat. Thanks MOM!
Now I'd better get into the cookpot or my runny nose children will get pneumonia!
