It was less than a week ago when we got hit with more snow…can you believe almost 2 feet of it?! And to think, I thought Winter was well on its way out. Here’s a look at what I hope was the last licks of Winter…
…knocking on our front door…
…and sugar coating our side bushes and garden.
Here’s Brook and Mac having some fun in it.
And here’s Bill doing some front walk clean-up (I helped too, but gave up early so that I could take some photos).
It only took us about an hour to shovel…and just in time too, as the sun was on its way down. But before it went away for the evening it left this gorgeous glow of light (seen from our back deck). It seems to me that this orange-red streak is somewhat like a silver lining…a gift from Mother Nature at the end of a snow filled day. Doesn’t this look like a whisper of promise?
And the promise was answered in the form of much sunshine in the days following, as you can see below there was beautiful, bright blue sky (photo taken during our overnight visit to the Hudson Valley).
It’s amazing to me how after just a couple of hours under the soothing sunshine I could feel my spirit lifting. And all seems lighter and easier…and calmer in general. And when I’m feeling calmer, I can sense that there’s creative inspiration on the other side…knocking at the door to be let in. I welcome this with wide open arms and a ready heart. It’s time to let it flow again.

NOTHING, seriously NOTHING, makes me feel more at peace than seeing snow pictures. I just love them. Snow on trees is just pure heaven. Thanks for sharing.

I completely agree with Ann Marie’s comment. I live in So. Cal. and already it’s too warm. You have some beautiful views from your home Becky. I especially liked the sunset.

Best,

The weather is almost the same here. We had a lovely Spring temperatures, the flowers and leaves started to show, and then – snow! But it won’t be here for long, because the Spring is coming!!! 🙂

Dear Becky,
Your soulful posting really touched my heart. Last week my Mother passed away and I haven’t felt much like checking my email until this morning. Your message truly lifted my spirits. The photo with the wondrous colors that often mark a new day, a new beginning spoke to me! I felt my mother’s presence at that moment and thought about how she always woke early to be the first to welcome the new day.
Today is my new day, my day to start feeling my mother’s presence in all I do, in all that she taught me.
Thank you kindly dear lady for sharing such promise with us,
JoJo

Hi JoJo, I’m so very sorry to hear of your loss. I know that it’s a hard time right now for you. And I hope that you have found some peace (or will soon).
May your mother live on forever in your heart.

Wow you did get alot of snow. Brook and Mac look like they had fun. Maybe not so much for Bill. Hopefully the snow is over and spring is coming soon.

We are expecting another heavy snowfall here tonight and into tomorrow, and I keep telling myself ‘this will be the last of it, this will be the last of it’. As pretty as the blanket of white is, my soul is in need of some Spring warmth and color!

Yes, I know what you mean Shannon…we’ve got snow coming down today also (it started last night too). I hope that you’re tucked away safely inside. Wishing you cozy warmth.

We missed out on snow in our part of Maryland this year…I’d love to have some of your snow. Love that first photo with the red door peeking through, and may I just say that Brook is beautiful!
