Snowfall

Gotta love that snow!

This picture was taken a while back (like about 45 years ago) when we lived in the South---that is south-eastern---part of--- Montana:)  Back in the day we got LOTS of snow, we say. I read that Billings got LOTS of snow this week, which might sort of a throwback to earlier times.

Do scientists still teach that water perpetually recycles and there is no "new" water ever? If that's true does that mean I shovel the SAME snow every winter? What of those one of a kind snow flakes? Aren't they just re-runs?  I'd like to think otherwise. Even as things morph, change, evolve, and recycle, it seems that something new happens every time.

I look out at the blanketed yard and sense the muting effect a snow fall has on the usual sounds of town and am thankful for the serenity that "old recycled snow" brings.
