A White Day

"Wow, it really snowed last night!
Isn't it wonderful? Everything familiar has disappeared!
The world looks brand new!
A new year...a fresh clean start!
It's like having a big white sheet of paper to draw on!
A day full of possibilities!
It's a magical world, Hobbes, ol' buddy...let's go exploring!"
~Bill Watterson (Calvin + Hobbes, It's A Magical World)

The bradford pear tree in our front yard is in full bloom ~ spring in North Texas! Couldn't resist a photo of the flowers against a perfect sky...
