On Friday evening, we had a few hours of snow, enough to leave two inches. On Saturday morning, I set out to shovel the driveway so that I could run errands and I saw animal prints in the snow.
They looked so lovely in the morning quiet and I could imagine a wild animal seeking a welcoming shelter in my backyard. T reminds me that it’s very likely one of the possums who snack on my garden; I think that’s quite likely. But on Saturday I was charmed. The stillness and quiet after snow has fallen is one of the loveliest gifts of the Winter season and even when there is shoveling to be done, I enjoy those moments after the storm.
Winter’s cold is a welcome reminder to stop and rest. The cold ensures that I’ll tuck under a cozy blanket with a steaming mug of tea, a good book, and the chance to renew. That’s happy!
