Snow

Last night, late, I was checking the doors before going off to bed and I discovered that it was snowing. Big, beautiful, fluffy flakes, falling silently outside my back door. I turned on the outside lights and turned off the inside lights and stood and just watched the snow for awhile. So peaceful. So beautiful. This is the first snow we have had all winter.

It snowed through most of the morning and early afternoon today—a day to stay inside and drink coffee with lots of milk and cancel appointments and stand at the window and watch the snow. It is nearly gone now. By tomorrow there will be nothing left and spring can proceed on schedule.
