Plump pirouettes landed and clung, painting the world outside with a fresh coat of white.
“Close the window.” Nia pulled a blanket over her shoulders. “Please?”
Thalia stuck out her tongue (to catch a few falling flakes 😉) before turning the casement crank and plugging in the space heater. “Aaaaaaaaas, you wish!”
“Isn’t it pretty?” Calliope’s eyes sparkled. “We have the best of both worlds — a warm studio AND snow pants and parkas for play outside later this afternoon.”
Can you admire the world… as it admires you?
Nothing on earth is more gladdening than knowing we must roll up our sleeves and move back the boundaries of the humanly possible once more.

The blessings that come from the sky, some might find to be a nuisance. I look at the snow and rain as a much needed cleanse and replenisher. (It may not be a word in the dictionary, but it should be ;)

What a great question to consider... For me, the answer is a definite YES! This morning, my friend Chris said “It’s like the moon is your neighbor!”
My reply:
We are definitely friends!
He was commenting on some early morning moon set pictures from The Red Rock National Conservation Area that I shared with him.
I believe the world 🌎 was admiring my commitment to capture some of its beauty and my reward came in the form of the pictures I took!
I was #Grateful AND I now have a lasting memory in the form of the picture I captured as a reminder of this December Cold 🥶🌕🥶 Moon experience...
