fog horn's mournful echoing -
shortest, sunless day.
Minus 10 this morning and the snow keeps on coming. A simple walk around the neighbourhood brings so many new things to see.
Birds sheltering in foliage, feathers fluffed for warmth. Trees outlined in startling white, blooming like May time - big wavy branches of Horse Chestnut, smooth limbs of Beech, upright Maple, writhing Cherry.
Furbelows decorate rooves and fences, cars disappear under white hillocks, scraped footpaths are covered again in minutes, the distant hills have vanished.
Sumac, so colourful in autumn, has a few berries left for the birds |
