The scene outside my windows this morning is WHITE. Very white. Yes, it is snowing here in Utah. We haven’t been pelted like Washington and other places back east, and the airports probably aren’t in any danger of closing, but the snow is starting to accumulate on the ground and it is looking quite pretty (since I don’t have any travel plans for the day)!
Which reminds me, I didn’t ever finish posting my December/holiday photos. I realize that finding Christmas photos on a blog at the end of January is probably not on anyone’s wish list, however, I’d like it to be in my record, so here goes.
My husband and I went down town in early December to attend a Christmas concert with the Mormon Tabernacle Choir. It was a beautiful, crisp evening. The Latter-day Saint Temple is a perfect back drop for all the colorful lights.
The Conference Center, which seats 21,200 people was filled to capacity. (This is a wonderful, free concert produced by the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints as a Christmas gift to the community. It will be available to purchase as a DVD later.) The choir and orchestra were in place, ready for sinding, dancing, bell-ringing, and wonderful narration. Laura Osnes, a broadway star, British actor Martin Jarvis, and four soloists from the Metropolitan Opera were all primed for an amazing concert-which it was!
We lingered a bit after and enjoyed the beauty and magic of snow, colored lights, and crowds of happy people.
This reflecting pond was stunning.
It was a lovely evening which we will always remember.
Even in January.
Thanks!
