The first snowfall this fall came last night. It was a light snowfall and a smattering of snow and every tree was covered in white. It wasn’t to amount to too much but it was a beautiful sight. The roads were cleared but I loved seeing the mantel of white. Let us see what the rest of the fall and winter has in store for us. I was out already once in my car to the post office but I had to drive cautiously.

There was a blanket of white when I got up. It was a dusting–maybe an inch. Through the back kitchen window I saw the ground and trees were completely white. I immediately put some sunflower seed on my platform bird feeder and I am watching a brilliant red cardinal partaking of his meal. This was the first snowfall of the season. December and January have been mild so far–thirties and forties most of the time. There has been no deep, extended “arctic” freeze so far. I was delighted to see the snow.

The trees blanketed by the first snowfall were beautiful. It was a “dusting” but nevertheless breathtaking. It made me glad to be alive. I was heading for church in the morning. Everything–the ground, bushes and trees were completely covered with white. I would be glad when winter would be over and the warm weather returned but I really was in no rush. It was a brisk thirty-two degrees outside. And everything was white, a sight my brother-in-law would never see, who lived in San Francisco. In a few hours the snow would melt. The morning truly was a “miracle”.
