First Snow

There is a kind of magic that only comes with the first snowfall of the year. An exhilarating, hopeful and childlike magic. A feeling of hope and a sense that everything is right with the world if only for a moment.

Everything that once looked dead, dark and tired now looks clean, bright and new. The once boring backyard turns into a wonderland. Kids and adults alike can't help but to smile and look toward the heavens.

Angels land on uninspiring driveways.

Stay tuned in February for another snow related post entitled "What is With All of This Freakin Snow!"
