Day 56

The sun was out today!! But so was the wind, and it blew the little bit of snow that fell last night around like it was a fine glittery powder, everything had a beautiful shimmer, a dream like quality. It can be hard to see on a day like to day, in every way, the blowing snow, the brilliant sun, all the white on white, but if you take the time you can see much more than you think, rows of golden brown in fields waiting to be planted, the ice blue of the winter sky, bright red barns dotting the landscape like cheery freckles. People always ask me how can I stand the cold winters here, and to be honest, sometimes I wonder, but if you look around you, really look, no matter where you are, you will always find beauty.
