Dancing Under the Sky

 When one sees the tree in leaf, 

one thinks the beauty of the tree is in it's leaves, 

and then one sees the bare tree.

Winter Morning Along The Road

 I wonder if the snow loves the trees and fields, that it kisses them so gently? And then it covers them up snug, you know, with a white quilt; and perhaps it says, "go to sleep, darlings, till the summer comes again." 

- Lewis Carroll

We had the BEST kind of snow last week - 

it stuck to the trees but not to the road :)

This was the day after our snow - and it was still clinging beautifully

to the trees.
