April Snow and Welcome Home

Before we even looked outside this morning, we were taking bets on what we would find. We agreed that it would be cold. I added – half jokingly, “Yes, but it could be cold AND snowing.” Bob opened the door and laughed. “Take a look.” There it was… snow on the ground and light snowflakes drifting through the air. We left Burns Lake and traveled awhile through a winter landscape of April snow. Dropping down into the Bulkley Valley, the snow turned to rain. It was not the prettiest day to return home, but once we got the woodstove going, and the cabin heated, we were ready to let the rainfall come and the wind to blow. And I found a pleasant surprise waiting for me at the post office – a letter from an old friend that I had not heard from for a year. It’s good to be home.
