We just couldn’t resist writing about it and snapping pictures of it and mentioning it in every Facebook status and Tweet we posted all week. It was the only thing on our minds these last few days. And if we weren’t mentioning it online, we were talking about it in person.
What else could it be, but snow?
And ice, too, I guess. Since those of us in the lower Midwest were coated with the glassy stuff.
But whatever form the precipitation took, it occupied our collective thoughts and minds like few other topics (is anyone else watching the Superbowl tonight?).
In fact, a college friend of mine who lives in California posted this as HIS Facebook status on Wednesday.
To all my friends in the Midwest and east coast: Enough snow pictures… We remember it. We know what it looks like. We see it once in a while when we go up to the mtns. Shoveling it is so 80s …
Little did he know, we had sucked him in. In his exasperation, even HE was writing about snow.
And oh, it was beautiful, the tree limbs like glass one day, and like the wings of angels just a few days later.
But even as my backyard became a magical wonderland — more ice skating rink than lawn — I have to tell you, I’m not sure how much more winter I can take.
Will Spring really come again?
You are finding beauty all around, Charity.
The pictures are beautiful, and your commentary makes me look twice and see more clearly what you saw.
Seems like that’s an important part of living life together, whether in person or virtually–pointing out the beauty or even the sin in our lives when we can’t see it ourselves.
I will look more closely at the snow today…I’ll try to keep open eyes and an open mind.
Your California friend’s snarky comment made me laugh! I’ve gotta say…I’m a little tired of the snow, too — although your pictures are gorgeous.
I’m so glad you are using the “Hear it on Sunday” button for your post! I’m actually going to start a link-up community next Monday, so please come back on Monday when you feel inclined to write about Scripture or a sermon message that you’ve been pondering (and it doesn’t necessarily have to be something you read or heard on Sunday — any day of the week is good!).
So glad you stopped by…it’s good to catch up with you again, Charity!
