pearl-blue clouds

It started Friday morning and then continued on and off all weekend...

'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.

  1. 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.

  2. 'pearl-blue clouds' - what a lovely image! And now I desperately want a pearl-blue sweater. :)

    1. Audrey - Somehow a blue sky makes all the difference.

  3. Oh yes. The silence.

    Wish we'd had a bloody day off school, though.
