Holy Thursday! Snow!

Earth teach me to forget myself as melted snow forgets its life. Earth teach me resignation as the leaves which die in the fall. Earth teach me courage as the tree which stands all alone. Earth teach me regeneration as the seed which rises in the spring.

This morning I slipped down the stairs from our loft bedroom to the sound of laughter; Sara skyping with a friend in the early morning. Pulling up the metal blinds I was met with a wondrous sight... SNOW! After a long winter during which it didn't even rain, we arrived to Easter Week, and now, Holy Thursday!  It was snowing! By the time I raced to get my camera, found the batteries weren't working, and went to get Enrique's, the snow had turned to rain, but you can still see a bit of it on the rooftops from our skylight. Magic anytime.

Esta mañana me deslicé por la escalera, bajándome del ático, que es nuestro dormitorio, al oir risas; Sara en skype con una amiga temprano por la mañana. Subiendo las persianas me saludó un panorama maravilloso... LA NIEVE!!!! Después de un invierno durante el cual ni llovió, habíamos llegado a la Semana Santa, y ahora, Jueves Santo! Está nevando! Por el momento corrí por mi cámara, descubrí que no funcionaban las pilas, y fui a coger la de Enrique, la nieve se había convertido a lluvia, pero todavía puedes observar un poco de ella en los tejados desde nuestra ventana. Es mágica siempre.
