A Break With Sunshine!

Tuesday morning was the second day of waking up to find it snowing at our house this week. By noontime it had snowed as much as we had seen during the entirety of the previous day. And then - the clouds parted and allowed sunshine to pour down and triple an already beautiful sight! This was the day we all witnessed former Senator Barack Obama being sworn in as our 44th President of The United States! I had spent the better part of the past four days in front of the television - watching all the various events and celebrations leading up to this very moment. I found myself struggling with wanting to jump up and run outside to get photos while the sun was shining. There were two minutes left before Barack Obama was to walk down and place his hands on the bible, when Dwayne hollered from upstairs. ( I know this because I looked at the clock!) A pickup truck had made it halfway up the road we're able to see from our front porch and erupted into a ball of fire! I'm looking at the clock. My head goes back to the television. I'm thinking about the sunshine. And then - this truck catches fire. What do I do? Which way do I go? I sat in my chair and refused to miss watching Barack Obama put his hand on that Bible and become sworn in as our brand new President! I ran upstairs to see what Dwayne was talking about. And by the time I decided to get a photo of the mess - the fire crews had finally been able to get to the scene and had just opened up the hose. A few minutes later, I began making my way around the property to get some photos of that gorgeous sunshine, blue sky and snow! Kit - A Scattering of Snow created by Wendy Williams at Digital Design Den. Today is Thursday and we had another beautiful day! Not only was it gorgeous, but the temps were up around 50* and we could, actually, step outside without wearing a heavy jacket! Even better was the sight of large, deep patches of snow that still remain! It's so much fun to have two days of snow last over a week - right along with sunshine and mild temps!
