Since we live out here in the ‘tropics’ as far as the rest of Canada is concerned, we don’t see snow that often, and when it does come it doesn’t stick around for long. But when it comes, oh my, there is no school for that day, that’s for sure. It’s time for fun all day outside until they tumble back into the house, chilled and ravenous, leaving pools of melted snow and wet gloves in heaps at the door.
It is then that I especially appreciate JB’s wood chopping and stoking of the stove which leaves a cheery warm orange glow to welcome everybody in.
And for me, these gorgeous white bits floating down so gently and silently from the sky feel like God’s peace itself coming down, covering everything in a hush of beauty; like a balm – I can’t get enough of it!
Maybe we should move north. (HA!)
Gorgeous! And how fun.
There’s nothing like playing in the snow!
So we have discovered! I am wondering if you missed it while you were Africans …
Hope you have a wonderful New Year!
I don’t remember missing it much – I think David & I were able to see snow in winter as an American thing to enjoy when visiting our grandparents and African weather as something to enjoy while we lived there. Now we both miss summer Christmases & braais & the beach in December!
I can imagine! Funny how you could get attached to a summer Christmas. We are off to SA for a month next week – can’t wait!! Love and blessings!
A month in SA – how wonderful! ENJOY it!!
Gotta say hi and how adorable are those beautiful kids of yours!!! Mine are insane with excitement!!!
Hello Se7en! Love the hi (and the phone call)! What can I say, we have the same in our house. Insane!! Love it!

Thank you Shells, let it snow is what I say! I feel blessed that we could enjoy some white wonder before our trip to SA coming up so soon. Lots of love!
