Just when I change my website background to a nice fall theme, the season, with an uncharacteristic lack of tact, booted us out. Early this week a 24 hour blizzard shoved us clear into the middle of winter.
After insane winds and a foot of damp, heavy snow, we’re still in shock. Making mad scrambles for shovels, mitts, and toques. We’ve had cancellations right and left. Highway mishaps. Frozen car doors, and irate birds.
My willow and lilac trees, still in full leaf, appear comically out of place. The raspberry canes rest on the ground at the foot of the clothesline cross, as do multiple branches all over the yard. Weighted down by such lovely stuff. Pity. And far too much like me, sometimes.
But the white…the white. So lovely. So lovely. See for yourself.
