Living in a Winter Wonderland

The first snow is always so much fun. On Tuesday I thought it was just going to be a couple of flakes...so I took M outside to see them. Then Wednesday morning I thought it was just going to stick to the grass and then melt...so I put M in her snowsuit to go out and touch it. Well it snowed all day Wednesday. And while it didn't stick to sidewalks and streets it put a beautiful covering on everything else. I love the view of a newly fallen snow. We're studying the Pearl of Great Price right now and we just read the phrase "everything testifies of me". As I watched the beauty of the world "covered" in snow I was reminded how an original word for "repent" means "to cover" and how beautiful it is that our sins can be covered through Christ's atonement. Don't read too much into my analogy just take it at face value and remember you can think of the beauty of purity when it's snowing.

M didn't like the snow. It's cold. And I think the snowsuit's a little puffy. I put her outside to "play" while I scraped off the car but she just sat there. I showed her how you can eat the snow and she tried once but decided it was too cold. I'm sure it's an acquired taste and lifestyle (enjoying snow)...or maybe she's like Papa B and is "allergic" to the stuff. Hope not as she's going to see more of it than he does!
