the little chill



the first snow. we changed the calender from autumn to winter. it feels early, but life sneaks up like that sometimes. i can't help but feel the world is really a lovely place when it snows. despite the mud and leaves and constant woody-burden; carried (to the house from the pile), that snags at my hands, the cold house..... the snow makes us all scoured clean again and gives us another chance. felix saw sparkles all the way from the north pole in the snow. esme thought she'd make a giant lollipop with snow on a stick. isaac hid to make a snowman all of his own. my dh complained he was 'snowed under' at work on the phone earlier and i laughed because he didn't know it was snowing for real right here. something whispered to the wild geese it was time to go, something whispered snow....

Lovely photos. I stumbled to your blog from "The Habit of Being" and noticed "Welsh" in your profile. I've never been near the Welsh border, but I have two Cardigan Welsh Corgis and a fondness for Wales as a result!

How beautiful. I love your thoughts as usual, magical. :) Made me smile all over again this morning instead of complaining about the chill. ;)
