First Snow Of The Season

It's later than usual, and not very deep,  but there's finally snow on the ground.  Our water situation here is dismal.  We need the moisture.  And though there's leaves still on some of the trees (and underneath that thin layer of snow) I'm loving the beauty and hope in today.

Came across this article this morning, well worth a few minutes of time to read it.  Need to Belong  She captures accurately a lot of feelings I've had throughout my life, even to today.

I'm grateful this morning for the snow, for my treadmill when the trail is slippery with moisture. For articulate people who provoke thought (and hopefully change).  And for the hope for fun.
