We woke up to a beautiful sight this morning – our first snow in our new home. This is the view from our window. Can you see the beautiful red berries peaking out from under the snow?

Unfortunately, our wake-up call came at 4 a.m. Our electricity went out and the power box emits a high-pitched squeal when the juice is suddenly cut. We took care of the noise and went back to our warm bed where we lounged until mid-morning.

Then, time for business. Rafa is very blessed to work with some incredibly generous people. We were given a snowblower. It was such an amazing gift for two non-native Minnesotans, new in our marriage and in our home, to receive.

Rafa put it to good use today. Behold, a photo of Rafa using a snowblower for the first time in his life:

And he’s still out there moving the white stuff as I sit inside blogging. Thanks, honey! 🙂
