Snow has fallen in the elderberry forest! The fairies have blessed us with pure white flakes spread out through the trees. Eight to nine inches. There was an epic snow ball war, then sledding the day after the snow fell. During the war, one of my nieces hit me with a snow ball, then as I lay dramatically in the snow, started grabbing handfuls of snow and throwing it on top of me.
Luckily, I got plenty of pictures before it was trampled on by tiny foot prints.
This picture was taken from the inside of a tomato cage, that appears as a portal to the imaginative eye.
The snow fairies must have a sense of humor, to pack the snow so tightly against the bark of the trees. Like dark patches on a leopard.
This picture is my favorite. The wind was blowing excess snow off the tops of the trees just as the photo was taken. I would like more than anything to step between those two trees, to see a glimpse of Narnia.
The snow packed itself well on the branches of dormant trees, as well as the dried sumac berries.
Here is the trail through the woods, before anyone has taken that special first step.
May the snow fairies bring purity to your forest as well!
