we had some of this. It was beautiful. It was magical. We don't get too much here as we are only about 40 miles inland from the coast. As a girl from the tropics, I am always enchanted and mesmerized. It is a lovely miracle. I marvel at how Nature smooths out the angles, how She softens our surroundings, and how She brings a palpable silence.
I have to be cautious about what I wish for. Our snow is usually wet and can take the steel in the greenhouses and bend them like toothpicks when we get too much.
I hope for just another wee miracle of snow soon, just enough to delight and enchant me without the damage.
Best

How nice to hear a positive opinion of snow. Up here, after about 30 inches or so, you tend not to think of it as a miracle! (jk)
Hi E,
What a lovely picture!! I used to live in Lake Tahoe and we received a fair amount of snow. I loved it and so did the children, they were always at the ski slopes:-) Stay warm and remember, cold weather is a grand reason to indulge in a hot buttered rum ^-^
Hug Life, Marylou
Oh, after YEARS of living in Southern California I loooong for the miracle of snow.
After growing up in Texas and living in Oklahoma, I'm mesmerized by snow. I've had plenty of experience with ice, but snow -- snow was always a rarity. Living in Austria now, I think I've seen more snow this winter than in all my previous winters combined.
I grew up in Portland, but I can echo Alisha's sentiments.(Well, about the ice and the paucity of snow--not about Vienna, unfortunately.)
Thank you for your prayers about Steve's interview and for your compliments on our sweet boy--being a mom yourself I'm sure you know how nice it is to have someone admire your child!
i am so jealous! we could really use a good dumping right about now.
Lovely! I miss snow, I haven't lived in a snowy climate since childhood. Thanks for the reminder!
