I loved reading this with my morning coffee this morning. We have one of our first snowfalls and it is so pretty out. One reason I love snow here in Colorado (versus Ohio where I lived my whole working life) is that almost every time we wake up to snow the sun comes out later and the snow just sparkles. There is a “flock” of wild turkeys that come by most days and they eat the crab apples that gather under my tree in the front yard. And of course on snowy days they leave their tracks on my walkway. I love the outdoors!
