2021 enters as a winter wonderland

This is the view that greeted me this morning from my bedroom window. A beautiful winter wonderland. What a great way to start the New Year off with everything clean and fresh and new. Although they look like black and white photos this is actually in full color, the sky is a soft gray, and the snow and trees and yard coated with fresh snow.

I went out to get groceries yesterday figuring that hopefully the store wouldn't be too crowded being New Years Day and a lot of folks would be home watching bowl games or whatever. The roads were fairly clear when I left home but by the time I left the store there was a snow/sleet/freezing rain mix coming down. I was happy to get home and hunker down. It ended up being not huge amount of snow, but enough to blanket the trees with a beautiful lacy coat of white.
