Snow!
Finally, a true Myoko morning with the cars transformed into rounded mounds. It’s pretty light, too, according to the effort needed by my trusty Peter (the local name for snowthrowers). That snow just went flying today.
We’re getting a little sun now from time to time, even as some dark clouds drift in from the west with the promise of even more fresh. I’ll allow myself to get a bit giddy and say it’s fabulous out there—the trees are covered in snow, everything is rounds and soft and white.
Like living in a Christmas card.
And much more to come, it seems.
