Snow in England

As I write this, I'm looking out the window at a winter wonderland. I see the magpie with the gimp wing that lives in my front garden is eating the last few berries on the bushes.

It began snowing this morning before we woke up and hasn't stopped. I'm not sure of the official total yet, but I think we've had about 4-6 inches of snow, yes inches! Unfortunately, Brendan's school was one of the only ones that wasn't closed for the day. We don't have an excuse not to go, since we walk to school, but many ride the bus, and those weren't running this morning. I hope he's getting plenty of time to play outside. I can't wait for him to get home so we can build a snowman.

I walked with him to school this morning and continued walking for over an hour taking photos. I couldn't help myself. Every time I turned the corner, there was another postcard-perfect picture that I had to take.

The world is beautiful under a blanket of snow. It transforms everything into something magical. See if you agree.
