A Walk in His Gardens--mountains & snow

Snow on the mountains~

and points in between.

In the Northwest we are getting hit hard by winterlike weather and I can tell that for most people this is getting old, very old.

But not for me.

No, with every new weather report my glee & childlike delight are more then evident. And when -- for a moment -- it looks as if it might be going away,

I feel sad.

I just can't help it; it's the way I am made.

I love the winter carpet on the rolling countryside, by the rivers, lakes and waterfalls, in the forests and even on the high desert. I love it on houses--especially if they're Victorian ones and on old churches too. I love it by ponds and falling from the sky. I even love it as it covers our decks and paths

.

But my favorite...and I am sure this will be difficult to guess.

Yea, the mountans & foothills.

But I want you to know--this is a good thing.

Because if it wasn't for my love of snow and the mountains & foothills, I would have missed this..

and this.

And if it wasn't for my almost obsessive love of the snow and mountains, I would have missed this on the way down from one of those trips..

and then I couldn't have shared it with you.

Advent blessings, Aimee
