First snows


The first snows started gently falling last evening. At 2:30 in the morning our English shepherds got their first taste (literally) of snow. Jumping and frolicking. Barking and laughing. Dancing and playing. They circled each other. Caught each other's tails. Skipped and laughed around the swing set.

My son and our mama cat went for a late morning stroll after church. He's becoming quite the photographer. Clicking here. Shooting there. I thought his pictures would be blurry and uncentered the way he was zipping around. They turned out wonderfully. In fact I may "borrow" some. ☺

May you find the quietness of falling snow and the warmth of love in your hearts and home this evening. The snow is still falling.
