Last year on these exact dates, we were struggling with 40" of snow. Last night's snow was chump change compared to that. 3-4", wet, and mostly melted by mid-afternoon. More like a spring snow. But don't be lulled, friends. Spring is closer, but IT'S STILL WINTER!
Our yard has plenty of material for a photographic jaunt, and I got out early enough to take photos. I enjoy the black and white quality, the patterns that emerge, the interest lent to familiar objects.
Ordinary isn't so ordinary with its frosting of snow.
The yard art is temporarily enhanced.
And nature's patterns look new.
On the wind in February
Snowflakes float still,
Half inclined to turn to rain,
Nipping, dripping, chill.
------ Christina Georgina Rossetti
