Snow on the Mountain

I was standing outside the dining hall when I took this picture. That by way of saying that I was still in the village and not out on some wilderness trail somewhere at great altitude. This is fresh snow on the top of this mountain. We have had two full days of a really wonderful and constant, soaking rain. Even people who do not care for rain have been grateful for this one, as a fire suppressant if nothing else. The rain was also, as is so often the case, accompanied by mists in the higher regions. When the rains stopped and the mists cleared during the night, we looked up in the early morning and saw this dusting of snow on the peaks. Here, we refer to that as weather. In Florida, it would be called a miracle.

Here is a view from the porch of Agape during the rains.
