Our Own Little "White Heaven"

The local weather men have been warning us all week of the next big snowstorm to come, and it has!! We've gotten four inches over the last several hours with no signs of slowing down!! It is absolutely gorgeous!! I live in the desert state of Nevada. Our state flower is the Sagebrush (yes, I know, a semi ugly bush!) In the summer we are on water restrictions and are only allowed to water twice a week. All of that seems so distant with this wonderful, beautiful blanket of snow. I can't help it, I love it!! My children love it! Who can resist the magic of snow and all that it brings!!! O.K. maybe I've been lulled by the mesmerizing never ending falling of flakes. Come Sunday when this is supposed to let up I might have a different take on all of this, but for today I'm snuggled up in the house with the kids and we have a cupboard full of soup and hot chocolate!! What more can I ask for??

I grew up in Vegas and I came up to Canada to get me some snow!
