what is winter without snow?

 
 
What is winter without snow?
 
 
 
 

 
 
 
 
 
 
 

 
Hm'm'm.
Okay, I give up...
 
*
The cold was our pride,
the snow was our beauty.
 It fell and fell, lacing day and night together in a milky haze,
making everything quieter as it fell,
so that winter seemed to partake of religion
in a way no other season did,
hushed, solemn.
--Patricia Hampl--

Oh, my. Yes.

    I'm getting a little itchy for some snow. Anytime after the 21st when my kids are home safe from college. Beautiful pictures.

    Delores--cold is the trade off!

    Thanks, Susan--these are some of the joys of living in Central PA.

    Snow does posses a certain magical beauty, and I wouldn't mind visiting it, but I sure don't miss living with it. Winter without snow is pretty doggone nice!
