first snow, finally
About ten centimetres that fell yesterday and that is still there on the ground. It really does transform things. It's like being allowed back to a land from which you have been exiled for all these months, never sure when or if you can return... Narnia, maybe. :-)
There are so many practical reasons why I should not welcome it (particularly not today, for a number of reasons), but hell, the day when I don't feel joy at the first snow of winter will be a day when I'm so changed from my present self that I would be unrecognisable to myself. I hope it never comes to that.
...I have been listening t Bon Iver. Fittingly, as both Perth and Holocene are excellent First Snow songs.
