It snowed pretty much ALL day yesterday and this morning the dogs were sent out and came back wet. It was too dark to see if it was still snowing but by the time the sky was starting to lighten we can see that yes, the snow is coming down hard. The Northern Pine trees in our side yard look so beautiful with their blanket of snow. David and Philip planted them for Mark in 1992 and they were such little trees at that time, now they are tall more than 20 feet reaching into the sky, well filled out and look like the perfect Christmas trees, they just need lights and maybe the animals would gather around to worship the Christ child at midnight on Christmas just like the story we used to love reading when we were children.
It's time for me to head out to feed the foals.
The Peoria area received over 9 inches of snow by the time it was all over. It is beautiful, but so light that the wind has blown it off the trees. It comes off the roof of the red barn like a blizzard with our gusting winds. Mark and I shoveled the driveway after church, then just goofed off with a fire in the living room for the rest of the evening.
