Snow finally

The flakes started falling yesterday in small diameter. Yet we ended up with over a foot of snow and maybe it will put an end to the fire that has been burning since Oct. The weekend will be nice making it possible for the girls to come up this weekend then after they leave it will snow again. Thank you God for this much needed and wanted moisture as we have needed it something fierce. The white covers the ground with just a little of the tall grasses showing up in the meadow beyond. I love this weather when we get a real dumping and I have no place to be. Tomorrow I must clear off the windows to the car as I am on call, (a victims advocate) and need it to be clear just in case I need to go out. That is a blessing that it snows when I have no reason to go out. The undisturbed snow lays so brilliant during the day and the moon shines on it at night making it all so clean and pure. I hope that this year we get another season when the meadow if full and the snow comes up to the top of the hill. I've only seen it once that way in the last 7 plus years so we are due for a good season of lots of snow. The drought we have been experiencing has been so bad that fires have burnt a great deal of 'real estate' this past summer and fall. Estes lost 21 homes and Ft. Collins over 100. Colo. Springs lost over 100 homes as well and the total number of acreages over the year was atrocious. Hamilton leaves his prints and the dragging of his leash over the distance he can travel while outside just making the purity of the unmarked snow that much more evident and beautiful. Thank you God for the wide range of scenery and views from my window. What a blessing you have given me. May I always appreciate it and may it always be so.
