Snow



It seems that people either love snow or they hate snow.  I definitely fall into the former category.  I guess I can understand the reasons why some people hate snow.  For those of you who are haters, I need to apologize to you because I’ve been praying a lot lately for snow.  Sorry.

I just don’t understand what’s not to love about snow…

It’s peaceful.  I just love sitting and watching the snow fall quietly to the ground.  I love how it blows and drifts from the sky to the ground.

It’s beautiful.  I love how light snow sits on and piles up on tree branches.  I love how the wind makes ripples in the snow.

It transforms.  When the flowers die, the grass starts to turn browner, and the leaves fall off the trees in the fall, things can be drab and even ugly.  But snow transforms nature.  It brings brightness and light to what was dark.

I got to do a little cross country skiing with my sister and my dog this afternoon.  It was glorious.  




Buddy LOVES the snow!

He found a stick to play with and had SO much fun!
