Winter’s snow arrived here early Sunday morning and it snowed all day. Other than the dusting we had late last week, this was our first real snowfall. And it was a doozy. As I write, late Sunday evening, we’re watching the weather reports and school closings. We are all hoping for a snow day!
Continuing to count the gifts today…

611. the bluish glow of early morning snow
612. husband knowing that I would love to go for a drive to get pictures
613. snow-covered country roads

615. silo
616. Christmas garland and red bows
617. barn
618. our church’s front doors
619. holly berries
620. son’s crazy hat
621. borrowed by his dad to keep warm while snow-blowing
622. home phone and cell phone ringing simultaneously – we know what this means! – school’s instant alert system calling

623. daughter’s giddiness over the news
624. they’ll all be home with me tomorrow!
