Snowy Misty Mountain Meadow

No, this is not actually a photo that I shot today but I did choose it as my Facebook cover photo exactly one year ago today. 
It is a photo of my beloved Misty Mountain Meadow delightfully dusted with a blanket of fresh snow under a brilliant blue sky.
This is one of my favorite pics of the Meadow and since we have yet to see any snow here this year (seems so unreal that Christmas is just 10 days away with daily temps in the 50's and 60's),  it seems like an appropriate time to share a more December-like landscape.

The snow is like a blanket that
     God spreads across the land,
Where wheat and oats and barley sleep,
     Awaiting God's command.

It covers all the pasture fields,
     And hides the grasses brown:
It gives the bare, gray willow tree
     A clinging, wooly gown.

It wraps around a fencepost tall,
    And covers up its head,
Then drifts along the meadow banks
     To tuck the creek in bed.
