December 23, 2012 - Fourth Sunday of Advent

And there was morning...

and there was evening

 
What a difference a few hours can make!  The first photo was taken this morning, shortly after sunrise.  The second photo was taken mid-afternoon, an hour and a half before sunset.  We could see the clouds rolling in - very dark, filled with moisture.  At this point we've received over a third of an inch of rain (which is a lot, in the desert.)  That will keep the ground fed and stable for...as long as it does.  I keep waiting for the snow to begin.  It hasn't happened now, not yet...but I hope soon.  Just enough for a beautiful white Christmas.  Meanwhile, I'm loving the beauty that surrounds me.  The colors and shadows on the sunlit hills, the deep gray of the rain clouds, the everchanging light in this place that is home.
