What an utterly unexpected and incredibly lovely surprise!
And quite a nice way to start the new year, I think.
Until yesterday, forecasters predicted this fast-moving snowstorm would go south of us, but here it is. And I am so happy.
I hadn’t planned a busy day today, anyway – Graham’s off of work until tomorrow – but I think I shall officially declare today a Snow Day, and spend it reading, drinking tea, generally lazing about in my pajamas, and gazing out on this beautiful and fleeting winter landscape.
Yes. Perfect.

It is quite beautiful–I especially like the photograph of the snow on the leaves–very captivating. It sleeted and snowed here yesterday, but the sun is out and it is melting off!

Thank you! Those are Japanese Maple leaves. The tree just didn’t drop many in the fall, and it definitely makes for a striking contrast with the gray, wintry weather. The sun came out here eventually, too. Lots of melting, but it’s not quite gone. I plan to enjoy every last minute of it. 🙂
