Living in a Winter Wonderland

Right now I wish that all of you could see through my eyes exactly what I'm seeing right now.

Or that I had a digital camera.

At this moment it is snowing outside. And not just flurries, but big fat feathery flakes swirling around in the air, landing on the pine trees outside my office window and making the world look heavenly.

This is exactly why, even though I complain about the snow and cold, I could never live somewhere where this did not happen. It's breathtakingly beautiful.

Every now and then a bright red cardinal is landing on the branches of the tree that is directly outside my window. It's hard to get work done when such daydream inducing sights lie just feet away.
