Winter Wonderland - But Just for a Minute

There was just a wee bit of snow left on our rosemary bush this afternoon.

I found an internet site containing photos of last night's brief snowfall. This wonderful shot was taken by Mike Fox in nearby Belmont NC.

Night owl that I am, I witnessed last night's rare snowfall. It began just after midnight. By 2:30, everything was a fairyland. But did I go out in my nightie to take photos? Unfortunately, no. The snow turned to rain early this morning, quickly melting our winter wonderland.

Hopefully we'll have a bit more snow before winter's end. More prone to get ice than snow, Charlotte's biggest snowfalls usually occur in March - after the daffodils bloom!

You'll see just how little snow it takes to get us excited!
