A Touch of Winter

This picture was on Ann Voskamp's site, so I'm assuming she took it in Canada. But it could just as well be Nebraska or any other plains state. It reminded me of home.

A week ago we had that much snow, but this week we had weather in the 50's and 60's so the snow is gone. Every bit of it. We had several days of sunshine and it was like medicine to the soul. The boys have spent many hours after school playing in the backyard. I'm treasuring this time because I have a feeling that soon we will be engulfed in snow once again.
