Winter Bliss

 "Come now, and let us reason together, saith the Lord: though your sins be as scarlet, they shall be as white as snow; though they be red like crimson, they shall be as wool."

Isaiah 1:18

 ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

The weather advisory said it was going to snow throughout the day yesterday, so when it stopped after only putting down a few flakes in the morning, we thought it was just another of those bogus forecasts just to spike the sales of milk and bread. : )

Then yesterday afternoon, the snow dumped. . . literally.  It went from absolutely nothing to a white wonderland within about 10 minutes!

And, of course, there were a few brave souls who wanted to go out in it. : )

 As soon as it started pouring the snow, Allison decided she wanted to introduce Bella to it.

 Fudgie found her place of safety. : )

 And a snowy day just isn't complete without throwing a few snowballs!

She was warned not to hit the photographer, but the target -- ahem! -- conveniently hid behind me . . .

 Bella absolutely LOVED the snow!  At first, she walked around so stiff-legged she was waddling, but she soon figured out that she could walk and run in it. : )

 Going down the snow-covered ramps were tricky but doable. : )

 Hmmmm . . . going up was a different story, though.  Daddy had to push her up. : )

 What's up with this cold stuff anyway???

 Takin' a walk/ride. : )

 Not a bit colorful, huh, Christina???

 A view out our window.  Seriously . . . the snow was coming down so hard!

Compare it to . . .

 this view out the very same window about an hour later.

 Allison chillin' in her zebra bed.  Well . . . maybe "warming up" would be a better term. : )

 The snow-covered trees are BEAUTIFUL!

And then, the Lord painted the skies in such a way as to cause the prettiest red reflection.  Breathtaking!

 It's a beautiful day in the neighborhood . . .

Won't you be my neighbor?! : )
