February 7: Unaccustomed to frosting
One more post about the snow, until it snows again. (It will if my wishes have anything to do with it! And apparently in a local news poll, 58% of my fellow area residents said they would rather see more winter than get on with spring.)
It's always a pleasant shock to see how different the ground and general landscape looks when it's covered with white, but the lovely thing is, the more you look, the more you keep seeing surprises, things looking like they're covered with sugar frosting. The squirrel drey, the azalea bushes, and every one of the sweetgum balls hanging like Christmas balls from the tree outside my apartment, for example.
And at the same time the sweetgum balls have little snow caps, just above them are the green buds getting ready to bust open.
