52 words for snow...

Love, peace, softness, light. Flurry and beguile. Rosy tinted cheeks and an inner glow. A sparkle and a shimmer and a glint. Mischief; magic; spirit and dazzle. Merriment and mirth. Cheer and delight. Brightness and brilliance. This post is dedicated... Continue reading

No such thing as bad weather...

...it's just a state of mind. Schooldays have turned into snow days and the landscape has shrugged off the grey and the brown and shouldered a cleansing, muffling shroud of winter white. It's beautiful! We find beauty in different things,... Continue reading
