Amusing myself while waiting for my eye doctor to arrive.
In the quiet I kept hearing lines from Christina Rossetti's poem “In the Bleak Midwinter”
~~
"Snow was falling,
Snow on snow,
Snow on snow…"
~~
"Snow was falling,
Snow on snow,
Snow on snow…"

Cold Storage
Sun melts snow on roof.
Water, having nowhere to go but over the frozen gutters, drips onto a rhododendron, which becomes encased 'cause it's 18°

That sidewalk used to be somewhere around here, I’m sure of it…

Many of the sidewalks in my neighborhood are still either impassable or inaccessible. I decided to be sensible rather than adventurous. I turned my attention to some soft, delicate white stuff inside in preference to the harsh, persistent white stuff outside.

This storm was forecast well in advance. Its arrival was no surprise. It's cold enough to keep the snow light. Minimal drifting, and squeaky to walk on. It started mid-morning for us.
There were some cars on the roads, but I didn't encounter any fellow pedestrians. 😂

Her Narcissus bulbs are just beginning to blossom.
A sweet foretaste of a still very distant Spring.

Yesterday's sleet transitioned into clingy, wet snow overnight.
The kind that outlines every branch.
I made the first footprints on at least one sidewalk this morning.
Quiet and beautiful.

We're enduring what the meteorologists call "a wintery mix."
I went out seeking something bright to redeem a gray, drippy, dreary day.

Playful Photons
I went dashing for my camera after noticing that a shaft of afternoon sunlight had exploded into dazzling patterns when it fell on a sink fixture.
Like a silent fireworks display, it was gone only a few minutes later.

Gravity may be inevitable, but this remnant of a stone wall reminds me that there is power in a clear understanding of purpose.
