First Snow!

The front yard when we first woke up.

This was sometime mid-afternoon, just before it started getting dark. We were so surprised that the flurries lasted all day.

The next morning it was still there! The day continued to be cold so it lasted for a while, but by sunset most of our dusting had melted.

We have experienced an exciting thing...winter's first snow! Sunday morning we woke up to a light, unexpected dusting. The drive to church was beautiful- we were reminded how picturesque the village we live in really is. Throughout the afternoon the flurries surprisingly continued. This time last year the ground was already solidly frozen and covered, so it is nice to have enjoyed a long, warm fall. We do look forward to this new season, though, and are so thankful for the exciting change that the Lord regularly brings.
