No snow on Christmas Eve or Christmas Day
or the two days following
but when the guests - who were craving snow -
left
down came the snow.
It happens.
Life and writing, serious and humorous, old and young, past and present: it's all part of the fabric.
“Maybe we’re here only to say: house, bridge, well, gate, jug, olive-tree, window--at most, pillar, tower--but to say them, remember, oh! to say them in a way that the things themselves never dreamed of so intensely.” --Rilke
Isn't that the way it works out. We are still snow free here in Utah. I'm not missing it yet. I think I need to live where it is warm, but I really don't like giant insects or spiders. Your picture is beautiful and peaceful.
ReplyDeleteYes, but now you can enjoy the beauty without the din of guests clamoring about, taking pictures, dragging in wet, muddy boots, etc., etc.
ReplyDeleteHave a glass of wine and sit back and relax. I'd come join you but I've got to play golf tomorrow! :-)
What a beautiful sight! I love new-fallen snow. (And after that, I'm happy if it disappears within a few days.) Enjoy the crispy, icy muffling of the snow.
ReplyDeleteWe have had a few flakes, but no real snow. I miss it! Glad to see you finally got some measurable snowfall.
ReplyDeleteWe got it too. Guess it had to happen sooner or later. Beautiful photo.
ReplyDeleteThat is a gorgeous photo. I wish the snow had come earlier though for your guests. Maybe it was a blessing in disguise to make their travel easier.
ReplyDeleteJe serai absente un petit moment, mais à l'aube de cette année 2012, je vous renouvelle mes voeux afin que tout soit possible y compris le bonheur...
