A Winter Wonderland

As I opened my door last night and saw the porch light reflecting on the snow, it struck me that it looked like someone had dusted my front yard with diamond dust. So beautiful. So magical. The quiet of a snow covered world is so peaceful

Without winter were would we be? Without the freezing temperatures, many of our plants would not be able to flower. What would it be like if we all had weather like Arizona, Southern California or Florida? I suspect there would be more hunger and thirst as those regions don't have the moisture to raise enough crops to feed us.

Have your ever watched kids or dogs in the snow? Absolute joy!

Just some things that caught my eye- young trees popping up through the snow, deer tracks, a small elm.
