'The snow fell all night. It fell without a sound and covered the frozen ground, and the dead leaves beneath the maple tree, and bowed the limbs of the evergreens, and sifted out of the high, pearl-blue clouds hour after hour. Mrs Bridge was awakened by the immense silence and she lay in bed listening.' Evan S. Connell Mrs Bridge

Lying in a warm bed with gorgeous blankets knowing it's snowing outside is one of the
loveliest things.
I do love the special silence you get with the snow. That, and the scrunching noise it makes when you walk on it for the first time.
ReplyDeleteTonia - yes the sounds of snow are so wonderful, and oh it is a special silence.
Delete'pearl-blue clouds' - what a lovely image! And now I desperately want a pearl-blue sweater. :)
ReplyDeleteAudrey - Somehow a blue sky makes all the difference.
DeleteOh yes. The silence.
ReplyDeleteWish we'd had a bloody day off school, though.
Laura - ha! No day off here either, though we did have fewer children in yesterday.
DeleteThat reminds me that I ordered Mr Bridge ages ago and he still hasn't turned up.
ReplyDeleteMary - What a wonderful sentence. Hope Mr B turns up & is enjoyable.
