Overnight our rain turned into beautiful white flakes. Though it just barely covered the green blades of grass the kids were thrilled! And with red faced, huge smiles and cold toes they came in to drink a cup of warm hot chocolate. :)
Snow is such a simple delightful pleasure! It truly does refresh my soul, the white, the cleanness (at least before it turns to slush :) the hush that is spread across our city, the amazingness that none of the billions of flakes covering the ground today are alike, each different, unique and intricate, the reminder it gives me of our sins being washed away and we are made white as snow, taken from us as far as the east is from the west, it gives hope of the new earth and of hope to come...
a refreshing way to start today!
