Snow in Island Park


We are so blessed to be able to spend the winter in Island Park. It is a blissful experience. I love the Tree Gnomes, the trees are so loaded with snow that they look like bent over white gnomes. I love the animal tracks passing from tree to tree. I love the way the snow piles up higher and higher next to the roads and the roads get narrower and narrower. In the morning when we drive the children, the hour and 15 minutes to school, the headlights catch the snow and every flake sparkles, as it falls. The drifts sparkle and the road sparkles. It is absolutely magical!

The pile of snow, in the photo, is about 35 or 40 feet high and Jacob, Caleb, Joshua and Gabriel are on top. Gary took the photo and I love it. The sunset illuminates them and they look ethereal.

Today Jacob received his mission call. He will be serving in the Paraguay, Asuncion Mission and will leave April 13. I am so excited!
