… 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.

Funny, isn't it? Something so fleeting is so lasting.

I take all our snow for granted. Thank you for reminding me how beautiful it truly is!
