It began snowing last night - our first snow of the year. Living in Tidewater, Virginia - in the southeast corner of Virginia - we don’t see much snow. Last night we received maybe 1/2 an inch - enough to trim the brown grass and yellow daffodils with a light dusting. Our camellia bush, with red buds preparing to burst, also was trimmed like a Christmas tree with red lights.

Most of the day today, we’ve had some bit of snow falling, but usually as a “fluttering”. A few minutes ago I could say we actually had a “snow flurry”, but now it’s back to flutterings. What a beautiful day! I’m getting my laundry done, and some reading and praying. It’s a great day for staying indoors (although I did go sit in my porch swing for a few minutes and enjoy smelling the crisp, cold, snowy air)! Did you know that you can smell snow? Yes, you can! Growing up in Eastern Kansas, I learned to smell both the approaching snow and rain. It’s something in the air, drawing my attention, like a “heads-up” from Jesus.

I’m having a REALLY GOOD DAY. I hope you are, too.
