frost and snow
Frosty leaves, originally uploaded by Lizzie~Belle.
I've been mostly avoiding social media since Friday, because the world is just too hard to take in such concentration sometimes. Venting one's anguish on Facebook over the horrors committed by humans just makes me sadder and angrier, so I just avoided the place altogether. Instead, I went for a walk along the river, where I found leaves frosted with silver and lit with gold.
Today it is snowing, mostly lightly but occasionally in huge, fluffy flakes drifting around like milkweed fuzz. A blanket of calm in the midst of chaos. A good day to stay in and contemplate the quiet winter approaching.
