The Return of Winter



Just a few days ago, I wrote of a "Hint of Winter's End", but this morning I awoke to a very white world, with wet snow hanging on trees and shrubs, leaving only slight details of dark lines amid the pillowy paleness, a lovely sight. Not much snow had been predicted for this area, but when I went outdoors to shovel at noontime, I was surprised at its depth, a thick covering of 12 inches. It then continued to snow the rest of the day, adding an inch or two more. In true New England fashion, the weather is always surprising.

  1. Although your photos make it look so serene& your words make all seem at peace. But, the truth of it is I'm tired of the cold & snow and I'm looking forward to your spring pictures
