The first winter that I dropped Lizzy off at school was a sight to behold. From her discription I think this year is about the same. Everything is white...the sky is white, the ground is white, the trees are white...or so it first appears. I was fascinated by beauty of starkness, and I decided then that I would make an Idaho Winter Quilt. The realization that I came to after several days there - was that the white was really a mirror for the shade of the sky, the glare of the sun - the snow could be purple, or pink, or have a kind of glow. Once Lizzy told me about coming out of class when the sun was shining, and it looked like everything had been covered in glitter (and that meant a lot to my girl who adores glitter).
My tribute to Idaho...

That is so beautiful. I love the snowflakes and the different colors. It looks like the icicles Lizzy posted on her blog.
