Snow Falls

We had planned two other posts for this week, but the events of this afternoon changed that.  What events, you ask?  The first real snow of the season!  My parents were in town this weekend, and we were blessed with gorgeous, sunny weather all weekend.  Today we woke up to overcast skies and rapidly dropping temperatures, and around 3:20, the icy rain had turned into fluffy, white snowflakes!  Our courtyard is now a beautiful winter wonderland.  And yes, it really is that dark at 4:30 in the afternoon.  Enjoy the pictures!
