Let it Snow! Let it Snow! Let it Snow!
We had a lot of snow this winter and were able to capture some beautiful shots of our grounds in the winter wonderland. The picture to the right is a rainbow (which looks like a smile) that appeared after the winter storm. The Lord never ceases to amaze His Brides with beautiful gifts in His creation! He is smiling upon us! We had never seen anything like it before!
