Winter Wonderland

So it's been snowing off and on pretty heavily for a week. Some of the roads I travel on my way to work truly have been transformed into a winter wonderland. The branches have been coated with ice and then a layer of fluffy snow. And then more ice the next day....and then more snow. The few minutes a day that the sun does shine makes all this frozen foliage look like God dropped tiny diamond flecks from the sky. The other bonus of this winter weather is the peaceful quiet time when the sky is a white out and there are no cars around cluttering up the serene silence. Don't get me wrong, I am a big fan of summertime but it's a blessing to have these seasonal transformations every once in awhile.
