For the Beauty of the Snow

This morning, March 12, 2017 we woke up to 2 inches of snow.  It was so pretty.  Later the sun came out and the snow glittered like jewels as the sun shone on it.  It was beautiful to the eyes but taking a picture doesn't show the beauty.  

Then the sun came out and I took this out our front window.  It is pretty but no the sparkles don't show.

Bernie took this one and the Carolina Blue Skies picture below.

The snow is melting fast and that's just the way we like it.  We aren't snowed in.  I just hope the spring flowers and the flowering trees won't get damaged by all this cold.

Breathtaking Beauty

The other morning when I woke up I looked out the window and saw my world was covered in white.  It was breathtakingly beautiful.  The hymn, 'For the Beauty of the Earth, this our Hymn of grateful praise!' sang in my mind

Playing in the Snow

This is our 4th big snowfall this winter in the mountains of North Carolina. We've lived here for ten years and this has been quite a winter - colder and more snowy than we've experienced up until now. When we lived in Florida we imagined how cozy being snowed in would be. We've been snowed in now 4 times. In a way it is still adventurous but we're getting tired of the winter. I can't see any point in complaining. We like to take one day at a time and find the blessing in it. Daylight savings time starts in 1 1/2 weeks, maybe the weather will take a hint. I wonder if the snow God's know this :)

I need to get exercising so next year when it snows again I can actually get down and build a big ole snow person. Yeah it was cold but hey a nice warm shower followed :)

Yesterday and today I've been snowed in. We have 8 inches of snow on our driveway plus the snowplow hasn't plowed our street. We live one mile up from the main highway on top of the mountain. I have no idea how we're going to get the driveway plowed. Hopefully we'll hear of someone who has a plow that we can pay. This is the biggest snow we've had since moving up from Florida in 2000. It is beautiful.

I am so glad I work at home and don't have to try to drive to work. I know people that have had to go to work in this and last night interstate 26 was clogged with cars unable to move. A family was stuck in their car with little children for 8 hours. We've also been very lucky not to have lost any power. I've been blessed with heat, food, hot water, tv and internet service.

We try to see life as an adventure and this is certainly one of them. The forecast is saying more of the same on Christmas Eve and ice on Christmas day. I'm supposed to be hosting Christmas dinner. I wonder who would brave the roads to come. But like I said, life is an adventure if we can see it that way.

We live in NC and I know other places are getting hit much harder by the snow.

Sorry I haven't posted on here for quite awhile. I've been so busy over at Soul Garden where I have my own show called the Love Shack on Soul Nirvana. I'm on show number 5 now and it's been fun. Plus I'm the Taurus director there and am very busy. You can join is and read my blogs there. Here is the link:

Hope you all have a Happy Holiday.
