On the Cusp

 We saw more snow falling today than we have all winter! 

A spontaneous road trip to Carlisle, PA took us north through central Maryland  and up through Catoctin and Gettysburg where the soft rain misting through the leaden skies turned first to sleet and then to big, fat flurries melting upon contact with our warm windshield. The car thermometer informed us that it was 36 outside, and at midday in March we knew there was no chance that the snow would stick, so we simply enjoyed the flakes as they swirled us along the rolling road.

Back home this evening it seemed like a perfect idea to draw the curtains against the lengthening day and use the last of the firewood to enjoy one more winter's night.

  1. I felt I was in the car with you watching first the mist, then those snow flakes swirling by — and warming next to your fire at home.

  2. Swirling flakes and clear roads- a wonderful combination.
