First Snowflakes



Today, Lucy finally got to see her first snowflakes--an unexpected delight.

The drive up to Maple Creek Farm in Burnsville, NC for the maple syrup tour was gloriously sunny. But as got closer to the farm, Kirbie remarked, "Is that snow?" Before we knew it, the sun had given way to clouds. Small white specks of snow quickly turned into larger puffs of cotton. By the time we pulled into the rough gravel parking lot of the farm, we had entered a winter wonderland. We huddled by the wood stove as the maple syrup bubbled. When we could take the cold no longer, we all darted back to the car, but not before snapping a few photos of Lucy's first glimpse of snow!
