Winter Wonderland

Last week we had a "winter wonderland" kind of day. It snowed and the wind didn't blow! It's rare for it snow without wind to accompany the big, white flakes. I love it when that happens! The snow is able to fall where it pleases, gently covering everything in sight with a beautiful white blanket. No drifts, no ground blizzards, just peacefulness. It was the kind of day that beckons to you...begs you to come outside and enjoy the goodness that winter sometimes offers. So, even though I was at work, I did just that...I went outside and wandered around the awesome living snow fence that surrounds Niobrara Electric (really the only good thing about that place).






"The first fall of snow is not only an event, it is a magical event. You go to bed in one kind of a world and wake up in another quite different, and if this is not enchantment then where is it to be found?" ~ J. B. Priestley
