One of my favorite things is the morning time in the kitchen: making coffee, mixing or shaping dough or just standing and watching. During Winter, a bonus is large flakes of falling snow lit by an outside light. The light and the snow provide plenty of light for me to work quietly and savor a slow, peaceful start to the day.

Three inches of new snow Sunday morning, off and on snow showers forecast through the week and we started Monday with some of that snow shower activity!
