First Snowfall of Christmastime

Last night, as I awaited Lewis to come to my place for dinner, I peeked out my bedroom window to admire the snow.

I LOVED how it cascaded/collected on each branch and twig!  

As fast as Santa, I hurried downstairs and saw neighbors photographing it and dragging sleds on the sidewalk. 

So peaceful, serene, majestic, and beautiful.  

I texted Lewis to meet me around the corner from my apartment, and together, we strolled under the falling snowflakes and snow-ladden branches.  Magical!

Brining Lewis indoors, it was extra delightful to warm up with a bottle of Côtes du Rhône, by the glowing Christmas tree (that we decorated, with friends, a week ago).

By the next sunny morning, the snow was gone from the branches, and it looked quite different.  Everything in Life is impermanence, and--like a sunset--that was a moment to pause from your daily routine and treasure the experience.
