Old Man Winter

Well sir, I got me some snow.

I also got no electricity for sixteen hours, and Husband couldn't get the generator cranked, don'tgetmestarted.

But: we had gas logs, wood fire, and a gas cook stove, so we were fed and warm.

The beauty of falling snow, and a world muted and covered in white still takes my breath away.

It gives me pause every time. I hold my breath for sheer joy and wonder: how could the world change so quickly and be so extraordinarily beautiful?

All it took was eleven inches of snow.  The trees were flocked, the evergreens bore it with effort, and my woods fairies felt the weight.

Enjoy the view.
