Christina Rossetti had it right

Snow had fallen, snow on snow,
snow on snow...

Trees and bushes, lawns and cars and sidewalks are covered with last night's heavy snow, and we awoke to even more blowing white crystals this morning. The shovels and shovellers grow weary. It's a quiet day, a good day to read and to bake and to give thanks.

Happy snowy 2008.
