The road from the bottom of the mountain to the top is only ten miles. But it takes a full hour of meandering through the woods to traverse those ten miles and get to cabin's door even under best conditions. Last week-end, as we neared the half-way mark between mountain base and mountain top, the roads became wetter, muddier, and finally white with snow. It was the perfect type of snow; you know, the type that clings to tree branches and makes them bow gracefully as they stand in stately rows. And everything's so quiet in the woods after a snowfall. Such tranquil beauty and such novelty after the hot, hot days of summer not all that many weeks before.

ReplyDeleteWe've had huge snowstorms by the 31st in past years, but, very different this year--being warm and dry. Many of my annuals are still blooming!
