Snow is beautiful. It is clean. It is sparkly. Who doesn't like it? Usually, here in Virginia, we don't get an overload of snow very often, but this year was different. 4 to 6 inches was the estimate. 18 to 19 inches was the actuality. Of course everyone was excited - the college closed for the first time in years which meant we got the day off of home school. Awesome, right? Maybe. The snow was great, but the irony of the situation was somewhat amusing and extremely frustrating. We were living at our grandma's house while our house was being shown. Which meant that all of our snow gear was back at our house. During the deepest snow we have had in years. Funny, right? It wasn't as amusing at the time.
Since that February dump we have had a few more dustings of snow and even a couple of inches. Why is it that the year I'm finally eager for soccer season to start is the year that we get lots of late snow? And yet, I still can't help but be in awe when I look out the window and see the unbroken layer of white the morning after it falls. It's wonderful and it reminds me of just how beautiful God's creation really is. And the truth is, it's gorgeous.
