Winter Wonderland

I love where I live. I abso-freaking-lutely love where I live.

I think it is pretty close to being the most beautiful place on Earth.

And there are plenty who agree with me.

This morning the beauty was almost unbearable.

We had hoar frost this morning.

If you have never seen it it is amazing.

It's a crystalline growth that forms on trees, fences, twine everything that stays still long enough & up close it looks like millions of tiny ice feathers.

Glorious.

The whole world looks like an ice sculpture.

It forms on very cold very  clear nights.

So yes.

You walk outside & the air hurts your face.

But this is what you see...

See how it looks like feathers?

This is a horse hair.

Look at the blue of that sky. Clear & bright & blue, blue blue for miles.

I will take this over almost any other weather every day of the week & twice on Sundays.

11 Let the heavens rejoice, let the earth be glad; let the sea resound, and all that is in it. 

12 Let the fields be jubilant, and everything in them; let all the trees of the forest sing for joy.  Psalm 96: 11-12

Blessings.
