If you've been watching the weather map you will have noticed God sent us a nice snow for the feast of the Presentation. The purity of the white candles blessed that day, the innocent baby presented to God that day by his mother, was all well reflected in the new fallen snow that greeted us that morning after Mass. This is a view from our back porch with our guest house in the background. It was a beautiful morning. Bob and David had brought us a load of wood for the fireplace the night before this snow, so we were well prepared to truly celebrate the Presentation of Jesus in the temple.
