Flakes and Flakes of Snow


I was shocked when I opened the door this morning!



As soon as I saw the beauty,
I couldn't wait to get my shoes in it
and feel the big flakes hitting my face.
I quickly revert back to a small child when the snow starts to fall.



When the snow fell last night,
it stuck on all the limbs of the trees resting lightly like little pillows.



There was ice



on the berries



and icicles



dripping from the leaves.



The beauty of the snow as it covers everything just thrills my soul.



I really did miss my calling in life...
I should have been a farmer's wife in the snow country



and then I could sit next to a roaring fire,
wearing flannel shirts and fat slippers,

while I quilt and sew.
Then occasionally I could look at the pillows of snow through the window




and feel peace.

I think someone sent you this snow for a reason. You were talking about snow for awhile now so I am sure you will enjoy it.

I was sent a link to your page from a photographer friend who is aware of your blog. He was a bit freaked out to see your picture here with your feet in the snow..you see, I too am a photographer with red hair and this was a shot I posted this week on our SmugMugMeet-up groups website. I hope you will be able to see this link...it is rather amazing.
I have just 'liked' you on Facebook and look forward to seeing more of your posts!
Happy New Year! Hillary
