I am a fan of the winter season.  I am one of a rare minority.  I like the snow and the cold.

This week was an opportunity for me to experience it all...the cold, the snow, and the wind.

There was a brilliant winter sunrise after the overnight snow.  My uncle was out with his camera and he captured the above picture. 

Miles up the road I was on my back porch capturing the same exquisite sunrise.  Quiet, still, very cold, the morning began.  I wanted the moments to last.

As we drove that morning, every branch and twig was covered with snow.  The sun added more beauty causing it all to look like it was sprinkled with glitter.  Of course, you know I like glitter too.

Funny thing though, the older I get, the more unsure I am becoming of the fact that I am a fan of winter.  It seems like I just can not get warm lately.  But, my friends...

...it is now a week since my daughter and new son-in-law got married on a cold, snowy winter evening.  As we stood at the door saying good bye to them that evening, we were so cold we could hardly talk...

...but tonight they sent me this from their Jeep thermometer, at their home now in the upper mid western United States.  They know now, what the real cold of winter is.  What a way to start their married lives together:)

I do hope you are staying warm wherever it is you find yourself this Saturday evening.
