We woke this morning to a gorgeous coating of hoarfrost on everything outside. The drive to church was really spectacular, as was the view of the city from the north-facing windows at Central. There was a heavy fog in the air which left a thick coating of light frost — almost snow — all over everything, even the cars parked outside. The frost stuck around until a little after noon when the sun came out & started to warm things up. As the frost let loose from the trees, it was like a light snowfall, but with gorgeous blue skies above!
Photos of hoarfrost can help someone who’s never seen it appreciate it a little, but the pictures don’t really do justice to it; it’s got to be experienced in person. Living in the upper-midwest can have its challenges, especially between November and March, but sights like we had this morning make the challenging times easier to take. Just seeing God’s creative touch like this is inspiring.
