Then it was time for snowball fights. The rules were everyone against everyone else, and you were never sure who was going to turn on you next!
One Wednesday I got before it was light and while listing to the news, they gave out a freezing fog advisory. I didn't think much of it until I went outside just after dawn to do chores, then I turned right around, went back inside, and got the camera. Here are some of the results.
It was one of the most stunning sights I have ever seen, and gave me such a sense of awe at the beauty that the Lord puts around us, even in this broken, ugly world. Later when the sun came out all of the little ice crystals came sparkling down through the light. It was truly overwhelmingly beautiful.
