It's snowing

Just woke about half hour ago to find the garden covered in snow & it's still falling!

Won't be long before the kids are out playing in it & I can take tons of pictures. I just love to see the excitement in their faces as they run around & have fun.

Last year when it snowed I was looking after Jamila's children so Akber & I took them to the park where they had a wonderful time. Probably won't do that today as we both have visitors over but maybe tomorrow. We'll see. Only managed to scrap one of the pictures from last year. Thanks to Sharon at Scrapook Lady for creating the paper. I bascially just added the photos, embellies & the bling.

I just spotted this on another blog so I thought I'd share. I've never heard the song and I thought it was a poem till I saw the credits at the end.

There once was a king, who called for the spring,

For his world was still covered with snow,

But the spring had not been, for he was wicked and mean,

In his winter fields nothing would grow;

And when a traveller called, seeking help at the door,

Only food and a bed for a night,

He ordered his slave to turn her away,

The girl with April in her eyes...

Oh, oh, oh, on and on she goes,

Through the winter's night, the wild wind and the snow,

Hi, hi, hi, on and on she rides,

Someone help the girl with April in her eyes...

She rode through the night till she came to the light,

Of a humble man's home in the woods,

He brought her inside, by the firelight she died,

And he buried her gently and good;

Oh the morning was bright, all the world snow-white,

But when he came to the place where she lay,

His field was ablaze with flowers on the grave,

Of the girl with April in her eyes...

Oh, oh, oh, on and on she goes,

Through the winter's night, the wild wind and the snow,

Hi, hi, hi, on and on she flies,

She is gone, the girl with April in her eyes...
