SNOW!!!

Alright it must be said at first I was a little annoyed with the snow. But then as I was cleaning of the six to eight inches from my car I was very pleased with the beauty the snow had brought. I took pictures (to follow) and then after a good fifteen minute cleaning of my car got inside hoping the roads wouldn't be to bad. As I started driving around our little circle I was amazed at some of the damage. There were huge portions of trees next to road (Nate had moved them of the road earlier this morning) and then the other branches of the trees were hanging very low struggling to hold the weight of the snow that had been dropped on them. As I strategically drove my car through the mess I only had a few branches run the length of my car. I turn the first corner and thought, 'WOW so glad I don't park by a tree.' In front of me was a giant branch that had been ripped from the tree because of the weight and was resting across a truck and a car. I took a picture and then kept driving as I was late. I continued to drive, I saw so many of these branches that had been ripped off and thought this must be God's natural pruning. :) So that was my morning, happy my car is safe and grateful for the beauty.

We did not get any snow over here. That mountain really protects us.
