the wonder of winter


 I love snow.  I relish the silence that comes with snowfall.  Waking to the ethereal lightness of snowfall is a delight. 


 The photos never do it justice; it's magic.  Enchanting.  And I hope, for once, the weather matches the frenzied news reports.  At least on a school day!

Over the local stations, one by one,
Announcers list disasters like dark poems
That always happen in the skull of winter.
But once again the storm has passed us by:
Lovely and moderate, the snow lies down

  1. When it's feathery and nice, it's lovely.
    We're expecting snow "above 30 meters" on Thursday. Since we don't know exactly how high that is, we expect we'll see it if we see it...

    The photos don't do it justice! Frost actually photographs better.
