a tad of white

Just a little bit of the white stuff has fallen so far...
In Ontario I guess the winter comes at a different time. The snow falls later at least in this Southern part of the province. I don't really mind. Until last week I wore my flip-flops. It was a sad case when I put them away to await being worn in the Spring (perhaps that will come earlier?). I had a joyful time wearing flip-flops for so long.
Now that season has come to an end, and it is okay..

The grass is still green here, and I love it...! I believe all the trees have lost all the leaves that once crowned the branches. Now the trees are barren, ready for the snowfall. There's a mix of thoughts about snow here, some love that there's no snow yet, others are trying not to be impatient. I love both. I like having to wait for the snow. I found that in Alberta the snow always came TOO EARLY... I also like that there is no snow yet. No permanent - as in it will be there for the next (5 or so) months - snow yet! :D

This morning I woke up to a little but of white world... Well not really that white, but eh, it was snow. More like some icing sugar sprinkled. But it was snow. And I had my first candy cane - on the first snow fall day in Ancaster :D - while thoroughly enjoying both the sight of the semi whitened world around me and - the taste of yummy peppermint candy cane! ;)

Just a tad of the white stuff... compared to back home, in Alberta... A white world is awaiting me there, and in just a little less than three weeks I shall be coming home..! :D ODD that it has been so long, and yet gone by so fast; now, to get ready in different ways to travel out West...

I believe it has been a tradition for years in our family.
Whenever a birthday comes, we read a Psalm number that matches
the age the person turned. So here it was on Friday, Psalm
19, read for me :)


Psalm 19 (KJV)

1The heavens declare the glory of God; and the firmament sheweth his handywork.
2Day unto day uttereth speech, and night unto night sheweth knowledge.
3There is no speech nor language, where their voice is not heard.
4Their line is gone out through all the earth, and their words to the end of the world. In them hath he set a tabernacle for the sun,
5Which is as a bridegroom coming out of his chamber, and rejoiceth as a strong man to run a race.
6His going forth is from the end of the heaven, and his circuit unto the ends of it: and there is nothing hid from the heat thereof.
7The law of the LORD is perfect, converting the soul: the testimony of the LORD is sure, making wise the simple.
8The statutes of the LORD are right, rejoicing the heart: the commandment of the LORD is pure, enlightening the eyes.
9The fear of the LORD is clean, enduring for ever: the judgments of the LORD are true and righteous altogether.
10More to be desired are they than gold, yea, than much fine gold: sweeter also than honey and the honeycomb.
11Moreover by them is thy servant warned: and in keeping of them there is great reward.
12Who can understand his errors? cleanse thou me from secret faults.
13Keep back thy servant also from presumptuous sins; let them not have dominion over me: then shall I be upright, and I shall be innocent from the great transgression.
14Let the words of my mouth, and the meditation of my heart, be acceptable in thy sight, O LORD, my strength, and my redeemer.
