The first snowfall is always an exciting event for us since we love the changing seasons. For many weeks now it has felt like autumn so snow was inevitable. To hear the snowplows in the distance and wake to a light blanket of white makes autumn seem real despite what the calendar shows. The wonderful thing about today’s wet snow is that by afternoon it will be a memory and the weekend weather is predicted to be warm and beautiful sunshine. I am grateful today and every year for the first snowfall.

Looking out this morning to the white tinted landscape gave me a feeling of peace since there was no where I needed to be. It is a gift to enjoy from the comforts of a cup of coffee and slippers. And for all those behind the steering wheel this morning, may you enjoy a glimpse of beauty in your effort to get to your destination.

“The tints of autumn...a mighty flower garden blossoming under the spell of the enchanter, frost.” ~ John Greenleaf Whittier

Peace.
