Fresh spring snow

As everyone keeps reminding me, Spring is nearly here. we celebrate spring on the 21st of September. But guess what we woke up to a large dusting of snow. We had a lot of snow in the garden and all over the mountains.
The kids still went to school and the snow seems to melt faster in town compared to where we live on the base of the foot hills out of town.
The kids still are in awe of snow even though they see a lot of it compared to city kids. Snow is magical, it is white, it is pure and it does somehow mean rebirth or something new. It reminds us the power of nature and magical life really is.
