OUR FIRST SNOW

The first measurable snow of the season always seems to be spectacular. Yesterday was such a snow. While there was only 4.5 inches, it clung to every possible object so that we would certainly appreciate it's beauty.

Enjoy the snow with us - I'm always thankful for the reminder that as the snow covers all of the dead debris of the fall, so God in the Christmas gift covers all of our death with His life.

An early morning snack for one of our numerous black-capped chickadees.

This shot was taken to the south out of our great room even before the sun had some near the horizon. The snow looks like spider webs on the branches.

Taken out of our bedroom window.

The seed heads look like they all are wearing white caps.

Cheeto to the rescue. He comes to plow whenever we have a 3+ inch snowfall.

The birdhouse rests from it's labors and keeps watch over the pond.

What a beautiful frame for our house.

The sun just peeked over the horizon.

Tufts.

All waits for Spring. But the rabbits never rest.

The view from our Great Room. So blessed we are!!

The sun is now up and our world begins to take on a real sparkle.

Now that the cranes have their winter coat, they'll stay plenty warm until the spring thaw.

With this view as I sit at my desk, you know exactly why it is "fun" to work.
