Dusk

I love the word "dusk." I love how light it sounds and it's normally a word I would use in the summer months. After a hot day. When it's nearly dark but not quite. The calm.
Tonight though, twilight was cold.

And mysterious.

The leaves look cold, still hanging on the trees, covered in snow. Mother nature had not given them a chance to fall in the usual way.

But dusk was beautiful tonight. It was blue. The leaves were blue. The snow was blue. The sky was deep dark blue.

I love these photos! I love that the leaves are still on the trees with snow! :)

I don't understand how something this beautiful can be so miserable and unwelcome.

Any other time of year I would be pretty OK with this. And it is beautiful. I admit that... I just don't want it right now!!!
I cried when I cancelled indefinately on my 12 kids this weekend. I have plans, but I guess God has other ones and his are more important.

SNOW?! Good grief! I'm not ready for snow, so please don't send it here. I don't even have a winter coat for The Youngest yet!
