Snow on the Dandelion & Sharing

It's snowing...white, pirouetting flakes, sometimes ladies in big flouncy skirts, other times tiny bits of lace falling from the sky.  Yesterday it was 54 degrees and today...well it's shivery cold.  I  noticed a lone dandelion blooming like a golden kiss in the browning grass and smiled thinking, surely this is the last bloom of the year.  This morning there it was...snowflakes clinging to fragile petals no wider than a thread.  Out I went,camera in hand, laid on the cold, wet ground and shot a few photos. 

How often do you see a dandelion sporting a winter snowflake cap?

A Dandelion's Dreams of Summer

Thousands of candles can be lit from a single candle and the life of the candle will not be shortened.

Happiness never decreases by being shared.

Do you know Se'lah?  If you don't, you should.  She has a generous heart and comes up with wonderful ideas for sharing and casting light in shadowy places.  She's once again opened her heart to others and is asking anyone and everyone to join her in making Christmas for children from four families a magical day.  You can get all the details here.  Pay her visit and become part of 'Let's be the village."
