“I wonder if the snow loves the trees and fields that it kisses them so gently? And then it covers them up snug, you know, with a white quilt; and perhaps it says, ‘Go to sleep, darlings, till the summer comes again.'” -Lewis Carroll
A quilt of snow fell Sunday night and we woke up to a beautiful winter wonderland.
However, the weather forecasters predict we will experience our coldest temperatures in 20 years this week, with 25-30 degrees below zero temperatures. Brrr…We will need to bundle up with our own warm quilts, inside.
What wonderful photos and the words of Lewis Carroll were beautiful. Valerie, you sure warmed up my day 🤗
Ahh, I’m glad I did.
Our daughter-in-love is pretty surprised at how cold it really is.
Valerie,
I’m thinking 20+ years ago may have been the coldest weather on record in Finland, MN… and I was a chaparone for the kids at ELC… (5th grade). It got down to something like -100degrees… not sure of the temp but it had parents at home calling to check on their kids. We had a packing list which included 2 prs of wool socks and 2 prs of long underwear…etc. etc. AND I remember the day we wore every article of clothing that was on our list. I also remember frosted eyelashes and eyebrows…ha! Well, I enjoy the snow and the beauty of it…but today I will settle for 70 degrees and sunshine in our new corner of the country! So, snuggle up and sip some hot cocoa and keep safe and warm!
WOW…what a story…I never knew…I remember being up at ELC too, with Tim’s class.
Enjoy the warm and sunny 70’s…that’s almost 100* difference between where you are and here.
