Monkeying around...

Spring? Snow? Amazing!

A vision of incredible frosty white goodness. The transformation of the landscape is amazing. I can look at this forever and never grow bored. The snow that fell around us last night, left for us this beauty to gaze upon on this Easter morning.

This morning hadn't started well for me. I could feel myself growing grouchy when I couldn't find something in the camper. I stepped outside and immediately was met by the scene above. I froze, (almost literally, he he he) and was consumed by the calmness of it all. I felt instantly light and carefree. My frustrations gone, replaced by a serene peace that I can't explain.

Suddenly a slight breeze blew some of the powdery snow from the trees. I looked down and on my green jacket I saw tiny, individual snowflakes. I could see the tiny details. So captivating. "come see, it is incredible. ooohhh. aahhh."

My senses were alive. I found myself trying to find the birds whose whistles, trills and chirps were teasing me. In the hide and seek we played I did spot one long enough to photograph. In between the birds I could hear the nearly silent thud of the dusty snow as the wind pushed it from it's perch on the trees.

Now as I look around the skies are still grey as the sun plays peek-a-boo. The trees have lost their splendid fluffy white attire. My mood is light and I am reminded of the goodness all around me. My beautiful family. Our memories we are making together.

Happy Easter! Happy Spring! Happy days and memories to you and yours!
