march snow

more snow this afternoon. this is the time of year my love-hate relationship with snow peaks. it's beautiful in march - fat, fluffy, pillow-soft on the ground. whisper-quiet, it brightens the gray snowbanks from previous months. it sticks to trees but melts on main roads. but it covers grass and keeps growing things dormant. it necessitates winter things - hats and scarves, long coats and boots. watching this snow fall is mesmerizing and enchanting - but as i stand here in the march dusk, marveling at the beauty around me, i long for the change to spring.

Hello Chris...my sentiments exactly. Enough already with the snow. Your photo is so beautiful. Though...it won't be long and the white stuff will be nothing but a distant memory.

No snow, here, now, but lots of rain...I'm ready for spring, too.
