March 1 - Who Knew?!

     In North Carolina, who knew snow would come again, almost a month later from the last snowfall in February 2009, and a lot of it! Well a lot for around here (about 4-5 inches). It started about 7 pm and keep falling until late into the night. The kids love playing in the snow at night, it feels magical. I of course walked out for a few minutes just to experience the "present moment" but preferred to experience the rest from the warmth "on the inside" of my home. 

     Morning comes. The sun shines on a canvas of white. Snow begins to melt, puddles form, water drips, the air still chilly and cold. There are broken branches, fallen trees, and melting snowmen. All contained in a winters day.
