Snow in Summer

It’s mid-to-late June, and it looks like there’s snow on the ground here in southern Michigan. In northern Michigan it might be actual snow, but here it is just the cottonwood trees shedding.

I didn’t get a good picture of the fluffy white “cotton” falling gently through the air, but this is what it looks like after it lands.

Unfortunately, it does not pack well into snowballs, nor can you make fabric out of it. It’s just for visual interest, and for finding out who has seasonal allergies.

Like snow in summer and like rain in harvest, So honor is not fitting for a fool.

Proverbs 26:1
