… a magical day

I know for the folks who get several feet of snow annually

. . . this may seem a wee bit silly.

But, we found the snowfall that we got today

to be quite magical.

Usually we just get a dusting. . . one day each year,

(I live in the southwest)

. . . & it's usually gone within an hour of it falling.

But today. . .

. . . today it snowed (big fluffy flakes) for over two hours in the morning,

. . . about 2 inches

(& it stuck!)

. . . & then it snowed again - just before dusk -

about another inch or so.

It was mesmerizing.

As the sun was setting, I wanted to 'absorb' as much 

of it's loveliness  as I could, 

so I turned off as many interior lights as I could

& Bailey & sat at the window & just watched the big flakes,

& listened to the silence.

Then I peeked in on Dad & woke him from the little nap he was taking

(so he would be able to sleep tonight!). . .

& then he joined us.

It was a blessing. . .

truly magical.
