A Perfect Snow

 We had the most beautiful snowstorm.  The kind where the trees are frosted, and the ground is covered.  Good packing, great for snowballs and snowmen.  Yet no shoveling was involved.

 We had a visitor, camera shy little elf. 

  

 The neighborhood looked lovely, dreamy even.

  

 I asked Penny if she loved the snow too, and she does. 

 Then she asked if I was crying...I was.

Sometimes great beauty brings me to tears.  

 We live surrounded by woods, and they were magical covered in white.

 It was the annual open house at our favorite nursery.  Every year they have a large display of model trains.  It's something that we all look forward to.  A beautiful steeple in the distance.

 This place is great on a regular day, with a frosting of snow, it was picture perfect.

 Bundled up for the weather, these two sweethearts were ready for some railroading. 

 Waiting for the rain to come round the track.

Another beautiful steeple. Such pretty settings.

 A happy child enjoying the display.

 Amazing and realistic vignettes were just charming.

 I loved the bridge and seeing the trains pass each other.

 This year there wasn't as many novelty cars.  In previous years there were some that blew bubbles and made smoke, even characters from popular children's shows. Our small one was not disappointed, she just loves trains.

 There were free donuts that Grandpa and Penny both enjoyed. 

 Look at those Christmas trees, how beautiful.  A chocolate smile on our girl.

Such a lovely sight.

 On the way home, the snow stopped falling 

but the trees held onto the snow for most of the day.

 I couldn't stop taking photos.

 This is my kind of weather.

 By the next day the skies cleared and the snow melted.  

 Leaving us with the memory of a perfect snow.

 I am so grateful for everyone who stops in to visit.

Wishing you dear readers a Happy Thanksgiving.

Grateful.

Thankful.

 Blessed.

Enjoy this beautiful day.

Love, Penny
