Snowed In!!!!!

Many people might consider this an unfortunate circumstance, to be stuck at home for several days, but just now I can hardly think of any other place I would rather have spent this week. I love to be snowed (or in this case, iced and snowed) in at home!
    A fire is always burning cheerily in our fireplace; the good, seasoned firewood warming the house....
Quite toasty here, actually- I could wear summer clothes right now in our living room, though it's been as cold as 15 degrees for a high outside.

   And now, last night it snowed - a big, fluffy snow, about 5 inches! We were so excited when we looked outside this morning, and Isaiah and I have already been snowboarding once this morning. I took my camera out, and couldn't stop taking pictures- it was so gorgeous, with the snow on top of the already ice-covered trees. Ice cicles hanging from everything, blanketed now with snow- a photographer could hardly ask for a better winter scene. And when you live in the country, close to a creek  . . . it was breathtaking. Let me show you- though the pictures cannot really do it justice.

sun on the ice- two days ago - the world looked like it was made of diamonds!

                                   Thank You, Lord for all this beauty! 

"He gives snow like wool;

He scatters the frost like ashes.

He casts forth His ice as fragments;

Who can stand before His cold?

...Praise the LORD!" - Ps. 147:16-17, 20
