Snow was here.. and now it's gone

The snow was here.. dumped fairly hard and now it's gone, just like many things in life. They dump on you hard, fast, unexpectedly and then the're gone.Sometimes it lingers leaving dirty slush to look at for a while and clean up, but sometimes it completely disappears without a trace it was even here to begin with.

I LOVE the snow..... but this year it brought sadness.

Bailey LOVED the snow much more than I. She would romp, play and turn into an instant puppy with the snow. I so looked forward to our long walks in the snow. Bundled up, with her at the lead, then to come home and curl up by the fire with her in my lap.

I took a picture of this one snowflake.

Why did I choose this one? Was it luck? Was it fate? Was it meant to be? Just like Bailey? Maybe is was a gift from Bailey? Regardless... it is beautiful and it came from heaven.  It was here for a short period of time and then disappeared back into the earth

Just here long enough to give me pleasure, and make me smile.
