This past weekend was a wondrous surprise of SNOW! Friday was a nice day of watching the huge flakes fall and accumulate while we stayed toasty snug in our warm house. Saturday morning brought an early morning power outage which changed the warm house to a slightly warm house that was dark. I do dislike being in the dark. I would never have been a good Pioneer woman. I can barely see in the light, so by candlelight is impossible. And aren't we so funny how we constantly flip the light switches when we go into a room, whether they respond with light or not. It's hard to break our habits. Anyways, 11:00 p.m. last night, the light returned. Ahh, joy....
If one overlooks the power outage which would NOT occur in a Hallmark movie, the beauty of this snow surpassed any I have ever seen in all of my years. The trees covered with the snow, the smooth yards and hills, the beauty, oh the beauty! The Husband said, "It's like a Hallmark movie" as we ventured out to visit The Grandbaby and watch her play in the snow. When all was said and done there was eight to nine inches of the beautiful white snow. I hope you got some to enjoy as well.
Of course, a picture is worth a thousand words so here's many thousands of words....
Snow was falling constantly from tops of trees like this picture shows...note the "snow fog" about the middle of the picture right above the fence.
And of course there was a snowman--Auburn style, of course...
sledding....
and plastic bag boots.
Snow angels were made....
and smiles, posing, and joy were abundant.
The weekend ended with the annual church Christmas program. I have always said I would have liked to have been a shepherd if I could have been in Bethlehem that night my Jesus came as a baby. What a wonder of the shepherds, so poor and lowly, to have been give the very best gift of all! In a sense, this weekend ended for me as a shepherd--a Gramma shepherd. The Girl was director and the sheep didn't want to stand alone so The Gramma stepped up. Yes, blessings abound.
I would say, life was not like a Hallmark movie, it was BETTER!
