The first snow in Western Colorado

Joel left early this morning for a shooting competition.  
As he kissed me good bye, he said, 
"We got a couple inches of snow last night!"  
I jumped out of bed to look out the window.  
There is something about the first snow ... 
I felt the excitement of a little child!
 Putting on my robe and slippers, I grabbed the camera 
and took a few shots. 
Enjoy the early morning wonder with me.

Yesterday Megan was the last of our children to head back home 
after the Thanksgiving festivities.  With all our children and 
grandkids safely back in their homes, I can relax 
and take in Mother Nature's beauty.
