Welcome to Saturday Sparks 253!
This is a glimpse of our world these days.
Our driveway is hidden somewhere beneath all this white.
The air bites at you. Plowing and shoveling seem to be a daily chore.
And yet, there is a stillness - unlike any other time of year.
It is this quiet calm that draws me in and steals my heart during winter.
"The first fall of snow is not only an event, it is a magical event. You go to bed in one kind of a world and wake up in another quite different, and if this is not enchantment then where is it to be found?"
~J. B. Priestley

Yes, despite the inconvenience of shoveling and plowing, isn't a blanket of snow simply magnificent? I find falling snow so calming.
