snow!

Yesterday was the first day I had to wear my winter coat in Tennessee, and today it's snowing! It's one of the best snows I've seen here. We have a good covering on the ground (the roads are clear) and it's still coming down gently but consistently. I'm sitting at my desk facing the window looking out at the snow falling onto the bushes and the trees. My only regret is that I didn't rake the leaves yesterday before the snow came down. (Ironically, the leaf crew is today vacuuming up the piles of leaves in our neighborhood--first time in 4 weeks.) On the plus side, the snow may get thick enough to obscure the leaves entirely.

"since we've no place to go, let it snow!"
