16 inches of SNOW SO WHITE!
An instant playground created from heaven....
Snow is fun to eat!!
Sweetest snow angels.....
This is our back patio.....
You cannot capture this beauty from a camera. The experience of waking up to 12 inches of white, and then watching the thickest snow you can imagine...a sky of white...falling for 12 more hours is nothing but MAJESTIC. Even though we complain about snow and the cold and wind....these kinds of snows make it all worth it. It was such a blessing. My little sweets didnt have to go to school, we got to stay home and drink hot chocolate, play with play-dough, bake cookies, read a thousand books by the fire, and just be together. It was just what my Mom heart needed. The only down side to this was the devastating damage that was done throughout our entire town to the trees. We had 2 trees split in 2, and a thousand branches that broke. Was that nature's way of ridding itself..i dont know..it's so interesting. None of the leaves had really fallen yet, so the trees couldnt bear the weight of that amt of snow. Such a lesson in that! I love lessons from nature. Those trees lost a great deal of growth, but how will this pruning affect their future growth? We can hold a great deal of weight inside of us, but sometimes those branches need to just give way, let go, and fall......fall away so that NEW, FRESH BEAUTY can grow!!!!
Today, this 10th day of October, the snow has completely melted, we can see those gorgeous fall trees again, and it looks like we might have a few more weeks of Fall. God is SO good. We even got to go pick out our pumpkins!!!!!!!!!!!
We love and miss you, all our family and friends!!!!!!!!
Hugs from Wyoming!
