The Snow is Falling
Written by admin on January 30th, 2010Yes, my dear friends, we have snow. And lots of it.
At least 6 inches, and it’s still falling. Right now it’s sleet that’s falling. You can hear its pinging on the frozen leaves and ground. It’s very beautiful, and I trust that my little daffodils fare well under their blanket.
I call this time of year the dance to spring. It’s a push and pull of cold and mild, cold and mild. I do love North Carolina, the beautiful tarheel state.
Looks like a fancy wedding cake to me. Perhaps a couple of brave overwintering song birds are getting married this lovely day. The wind sings to them as the sleet beats a steady soft rhythm on the icy leaves.
A beagle was made for running and hunting. You can tell by the ears. Only when flung full out in the wind can you really appreciate a beagle’s ears.
Ah, I must work today. My office curtains are open wide and the snow casts a bright white into the otherwise gray day. I’ll be holding my hot tea and looking outside, and listening to doctors’ voices as they admit and release patients all day. I’m reminded note after note of how fortunate I am to be able to sit at home and type.
Be thankful for this day.

Dear Lynn,
Oh wow, you have more snow than we do right now! Ours has mostly melted and turned into ice; yours is still in the that lovely, fluffy stage. I trust that Michaela is taking advantage of the snowman-making weather
.
Have a blessed Sabbath tomorrow.
Love,
Marqueta

Kisha, the snow is beautiful! But just think, you have lovely Italy!
Marqueta, it may be the only time that happens!
Michaela is having a blast.
Jeanie, I have to remind myself everyday to take joy and to count my blessings.
Leslie, I enjoyed seeing you too. It was so nice to have a chance after the fieldtrip to just hang out and talk!

Think you got more than us here in Raleigh Lynn – it’s very pretty but the coating of sleet stalled building a snow person and throwing snowballs – too hard!!
Lovely pics from your garden. Stop by to see my birds – just from the windows – but I was pleased so see so many in the snowy landscape.
Glad you work from home in this type of weather – and it’s going to get even more chilly tonight.
Hope you are well dear – stay warm and safe.
Hugs – Mary

Mary, yes the sleet changed things. I think we all would have had several more inches of snow had it not been for the sleet! Hugs to you!
